Disney’s live-action HERCULES will be an experimental modern musical inspired by the TikTok generation

Hercules is the next film on Disney’s list to adapt from animation to a live-action remake, following in the footsteps of many Disney films that have preceded it in recent years. The 1997 animation was a popular property for Disney, as it crafted the storyline that saw Hercules become something of a local superstar and features one of the best soundtracks around.

This new live-action version of the story was directed by Guy Richiewho previously directed Disney’s live-action Aladdinand is manufactured by The Russo brotherswhich previously took us Avengers: End of the game.

One of the most annoying aspects of these remade films is when they are shot per shot like their animated originals, but Joe Russo it promises Hercules it will be different. In a recent interview with Variety, Russo explained that the film will have “a little more experimental tone, a little more experimental in the execution”, adding “I think they are excited to see what we can all do in a way that it’s not just a reinterpretation of the animated film “.

Of director Ritchie, Joe said: “Guy is perfect because he has a penchant for experimentation.” He went on to add that the live-action “Hercules” will also be a musical and will share the unconventional approach of the original, saying:

“There are questions about how you translate it into a musical. Today’s audience was formed by TikTok, right? What are their expectations of what that musical looks like and how it feels? It can be a lot of fun and help us push the boundaries of how to play a modern musical a little bit. “

It looks like they definitely have a vision and vibe that they’ll be looking for in the next movie, and with this talent on board, I can’t wait to see what they come up with. You are a fan of the original animation Hercules?
