It was 2005 when Rick Riordan published his first book on the adventures of Percy Jacksonprecisely on July 28, without having the slightest idea that this character would become a worldwide phenomenon and would mark history not only in literature with more than 15 books, but also in cinema and theater, and soon also in Disney +.

Percy Jackson’s birthday is August 18, according to the story written by Rick Riordan, who years ago, when his eldest son was just a boy he told legends of Greek mythology before bed, asked him to come up with a new story, which was the beginning of “The Lightning Thief”The book that would begin the hero’s great adventure.

Percy Jackson’s story was made into a movie in 2010 with two films, but they did not have the expected success due to their poor adaptation of Rick Riordan’s work, so the project that could have been famous as ‘Harry Potter’ failed. and was later brought to Broadway as a musical, replacing the actor Logan Lerman by Chris McCarrell.

Percy Jackson lives on in the more than 15 novels written by Rick Riordan, set in the magical world of mythology that has captivated thousands of characters, while the legacy haunts Lorgan Lerman despite the failure of the films, just as a way to Chris McCarrell for the game, and the same will do with Walker Scobellwho will play him in the Disney + series.

Although Rick Riordan’s novels have been hugely successful around the world, Percy Jackson hasn’t had the same luck on the big screen, and while the musical has been well received, it hasn’t reached all the people the story deserves. But now the son of Poseidon has a new chance to succeed.
