We don’t imagine another in the role. Ever since we learned that Disney was preparing a real action remake of “Hercules”, the name of Danny DeVito began to sound like the preferred candidate to play the main hero’s satyr mentorPhil (or Fil, in Spanish), as the character had his voice in the original version of the 1997 classic and his appearance in the film was based on the actor himself.
Now, DeVito has finally decided on this long-awaited casting by Disney fans and it turns out he not only agrees, but also thinks the studio should call him to participate in the yes-or-yes movie. It was during the popular section of Wired where guests answer the Internet’s most searched questions about them. If he appears in the live action version, DeVito provides as much DeVito’s answer as possible: “I am the live Hercules! What do you say? Philoctetes? If they don’t put me in the movie, they don’t have a hair up their ass”.
Despite being between laughter, the actor expresses for the first time his interest in returning to the iconic character he gave birth to in the 90s. It is practically impossible not to connect DeVito to Phil, and not offering him the role could be seen as an unforgivable mistake in the eyes of studio fans. The live-action “Hercules” is currently in development with brothers Joe Russo and Anthony Russo as producers. Guy Ritchie, who previously directed the remake of “Aladdin”, will direct, with Dave Callaham (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) writing the script.

At 77, Danny DeVito is still fit and has more laughs than ever. The actor and director has just released a new animated series, “Little Demon”, in which he voices Satan himself, with Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation”) as his daughter; Y He will return soon with Frank Reynolds in the fifteenth season of the irreverent ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’, the longest-running comedy on American television..
At the cinema, DeVito prepares to return to one of his most mythical characters, Vincent Benedict, with the late sequel to ‘Twins Strike Twice’, entitled ‘Triplets’, where we will see him again with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which will be joined by Tracy Morgan. Let’s hope he finds a place in his busy schedule to play Phil again.
