Worlds collided when Disney+ posted a image of Logan Lerman and Walker Scobell collectively in April 2024, Percy Jackson followers freaked out. The opportunity of them even briefly assembly would have been sufficient, however a photograph op? It was greater than most followers may hope for. Now virtually a 12 months later, and with Season 2 of Percy Jackson And The Olympians set to air someday on the 2025 TV schedule, Lerman has revealed the photograph was simply the tip of the iceberg.
Because it seems, the We Had been The Fortunate Ones actor is aware of his fellow son of Poseidon actor previous simply posing for a photograph. The Percy Jackson vet advised IMDB that he really has gotten to bond with the younger actors taking on his legacy position, and as a longtime fan, my coronary heart is so full.
I’ve spent a while with them. And you recognize, I’d say Walker’s now like a good friend. We speak and textual content every so often. They’re actually a candy group of children, actually proficient and, yeah, good folks.
As somebody who was within the depths of their Percy Jackson obsession when the Lightning Thief film got here out in 2010, it makes me so glad to see Logan Lerman nonetheless has love for this franchise. It’s not a straightforward venture to participate in, contemplating how devoted this fanbase is. I’ll admit, we’re a robust crowd to please, nevertheless it comes from a spot of loyalty to the characters and books. There was stress on the OG actors who first took on the roles of Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, however after the flicks flopped, the expectation for Scobell and crew was even greater.
Evidently, I’m actually glad these two sons of Poseidon are in contact and hopefully Lerman can act as a mentor of kinds for the Secret Headquarters actor as he heads into this sophomore season. In a super world, an OG solid cameo would do enormous numbers for the collection, and whereas Lerman hasn’t been on set for Season 2, he says it’s not out of the query.
Yeah, in fact. I imply, that hasn’t — no dialog’s occurred. However I imply, yeah, why not.
Almost definitely there hasn’t been a dialog but as a result of creator Rick Riordan is adamant concerning the new Disney+ present being utterly separate from the flicks. It’s no secret to followers that Riordan beefed with Hollywood studio execs when it got here to a script for the unique adaptation of his beloved YA mythology collection. Nonetheless, I’m hoping after being renewed for a second season, and a take a look at some fan suggestions, he may rethink this place.
Not every thing concerning the Logan Lerman motion pictures wanted to be scrapped, and I feel it was a mistake to utterly take a 180 flip from them when creating this collection. Regardless of being older than the character within the books, I assumed the Bullet Practice actor’s portrayal of Percy was fairly nice. Based mostly on Scobell’s efficiency within the Adam Venture, I do know he can match Percy’s sarcastic, impulsive power, however he wasn’t fairly there but in Season 1. So maybe a well-known face on set would assist mix the 2.
Manufacturing for Season 2 has formally begun, and I’m excited to see how they adapt Sea of Monsters for TV, particularly after the film plot was such a trainwreck. Nonetheless, earlier than Season 2 premieres, be sure you are all caught up on how we left issues with our favourite demi-god heroes on the finish of Season 1. You may stream Season 1 of Percy Jackson And The Olympians now with a Disney+ Subscription.
