Hercules (Live-Action)

[Thumper_93]

I don't understand why they have these kind of problems...If Disney wants an accurate adaptation then why they have to make what the Russo brothers want? I don't know how these kind of things work but honestly If I would be paying someone to make a job then I would them to make it just as I want.
I also think that this would be a big mistake. Hades is a very charismatic character and I think that it wouldn't work great in a LA movie.

Hades is popular, but not as big as Maleficent or Cruella for a film around him to work. I don't think an Ursula film would work either and she's much more iconic.

Anyway, as far as the straight adaptation goes, I'm still rooting for it to be Austin Butler and Dua Lipa as the leads, Devito returning as Phil, JHUD / Lizzo as Muses, etc. But I just had a thought about Hades. I think Jeff Goldblum would be very good, of course, and Hugh Grant would be fine, but I just had the thought that Bill Hader would be a decent pick, too.

According to The Disinsider, the live action Hercules will be a more faithful adaptation unlike previously rumored. Phew!

I heard the disney live action Hercules movie will focus more on hades, is this true and is the movie still in development.

This project has gone through some creative struggles both from the studio side and the creatives side. While a retooled Hercules story was the route the creatives wanted to go, the studio has decided the direction they will go is a faithful adaptation of the animated film, which you can thank the success of Lilo & Stitch for.

Good. A soundtrack with Dua Lipa (or Ariana), JHud, and Lizzo would be great.
