Series Percy Jackson is highly anticipated by fans, and Disney has just revealed the main trio of actors who will play Percy, Annabeth and Grover. A first official photo has even been published.
After a film adaptation in 2010, Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief will be entitled to his series on Disney +. Rick Riordan, the author of the books, wrote the pilot episode himself, so that the story fits perfectly with his writings. If Alexandra Daddario, and Brandon T. Jackson embodied the heroes of the feature films, the series offers these roles to three new young stars.
Percy Jackson arrives in series with new heroes!
Percy, Annabeth and Grover will this time be played respectively by Walker Scobell (seen in The Adam Project), Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri. Disney unveiled a first official photo three new heroes from the Percy Jackson universe.
Like Percy, Annabeth is the half-blood child of a god. More precisely, she is the daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom, and like her, she is a brilliant strategist and someone very intelligent. If Percy only becomes aware of his divine heritage at the beginning of the series, Annabeth has already trained at Camp Half-Blood for years. So she helps Percy learn to survive in the world of monsters and myths, while he teaches her to get closer to her humanity.
For his part, Grover is a satyr (meaning half-boy, half-goat) who disguises himself as a human boy. He is Percy’s best friend and is always willing to help others, even at his own expense.
At this time, no release date has been announced by Disney+, fans of Percy Jackson will therefore have to show a little patience.
