Ever since it became known that Disney was working on a reboot in the form of a “Percy Jackson” series, fans of the fantastic saga have started making campaign for the film’s protagonist, Logan Lerman, to appear in the series as Poseidon, the father of the protagonist. The 30-year-old actor, who is currently promoting with “Bullet Train” where he has a supporting role, denied those rumors, but let’s just say it doesn’t sound very convincing.
When asked on the red carpet by The Hollywood Reporter if we could see him make a cameo in “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”, Lerman becomes visibly nervous and has difficulty formulating the answer: “I mean, I mean, I mean … it’s an interesting question because … could I …? I mean … sure. But I won’t.”says the actor hastily and with a last smile that caused many to question his words and believe that he was not telling the truth.

Regarding the series, which will be released on Disney + and is already in the process of filming, Lerman is excited and curious to see what they have done: “I’m really excited too. I’m really curious to see it. Everything I’ve seen so far, peripherally, about casting and how they’re doing it, and the fact that Rick [Riordan, el autor de las novelas] to be in charge, it makes me happy for the fans and excited for this new generation to see it”.
Lerman starred in two theatrical episodes based on the books “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief” and “Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters”, but the 20th Century Fox saga never took off on the big screen and remained halfway through. Anyway, there are many who point to the “The Perks of Being Outcast” actor as the best of those adaptationsSo, so many fans want him to come back, as a tribute and compensation to the actor.
Generational relief
The new series ‘Percy Jackson’, which, as Lerman points out, has the novelist as producer and screenwriter, has Walker Scobell, the revelation of ‘The Adam Project’ who played Ryan Reynolds as a child, as the new Percy, starring Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri as Annabeth and Grover, the protagonist’s best friends and fellow adventurers. Other signings announced for the reboot include Megan Mullally, Jason Mantzoukas, Virginia Kull, Timm Sharp, and Glynn Turman.
The series was scheduled for this year, but Riordan recently announced that he didn’t do the math right and filming will likely extend into December or January, by which time, the series is very likely not to arrive on Disney + until early 2024.
