The Percy Jackson The novel saga returns to the screens, but not as a sequel to the film franchise that ended after just two films. The books were adapted into a Disney + series that garnered the approval of author Rick Riordan. Walker Scobell will play the main character in Percy Jackson and the Olympians and now Logan Lerman, who played Percy in the movies, has pondered his thoughts.
Lerman returns to the big screen once again for a role in High speed train long with a stacked cast including Brad Pitt , but many still remember him for bringing Percy Jackson to life on the big screen. Talk with THR On the series and fans’ enthusiasm for the new adaptation, the actor who previously played the demigod said:
I’m excited too. I am very excited. I am curious to see it. I think everything I’ve seen so far, like, on the outskirts, about the cast and how they do it, and Rick playing it, makes me happy. He makes me happy for the fans and I’m thrilled that this new generation is seeing him.
Although Logan Lerman has made it clear that he has no inside information to share about the new show, fans can be happy to see he’s excited about a new generation. Rick Riordan’s early mention of him is particularly interesting, as the author hasn’t held back his feelings about the films.
He hasn’t even seen the two films (with Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief launched in 2010 and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters released in 2013) before the end of the film franchise soon, but “he judged them by reading the scripts.” Riordan said he had “nothing against very talented actors” and was “just sorry they got dragged into this mess” because to him the movies were “his life’s work”. go through a meat grinder “when he” begged them not to. “Oh!
Riodan is heavily involved in the production of the Disney + series, as he is credited as an executive producer and actually announced that the show would occur. This does not mean that the actors in the film have been forgotten. After the casting backlash of Leah Jeffries for the role of Annabeth, Alexandra Daddario (who played the character in the movies) took over .
Logan Lerman continued in his interview to share if he would appear on the show as a different character or if he would appear as a guest:
I mean, it’s an interesting question why, why would you? Sure, but I’m not. It really depends on certain factors, like a number of things. But above all, the quality of the script and the role. But they didn’t talk to me. They don’t want me in there, I don’t think. She probably would have heard something by now. Anyway, who cares? It’s amazing that they do. I am happy to see them do it.
So anyone who has seen the movies and has more positive feelings about them than Rick Riordan is out of luck expecting to see Logan Lerman appear on Disney +. Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It seems that any connection between the films and the series will be minimal, aside from the basics of the premise. The new production will follow Riodan’s books more closely and will begin Percy’s story when he is 12 and embarks on a fantastic journey across the United States, with the help of his friends.
Logan Lerman’s version of the character was already a teenager, which was one of the decisions Rick Riordan criticized. It’s nice to see the actor excited about the new project, including some of the receptions when he took on the role and the fact that he’s not involved.
the next series was confirmed in January 2022 , but no release date has been announced at the time of this writing. If you want to review movies with Logan Lerman, you can find them Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief change with a Disney + subscription Yes Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters with a HBO subscription Max now.
