Percy Jackson: 4 Actors Who Should Return To The TV Series

 Percy Jackson is a film series based on a series of novels of the same name. It is written by Rick Riordan. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is the first film released in 2010 and directed by Chris Columbus. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is the second installment to the Percy Jackson film series released in 2013 and directed by Thor Freudenthal. However, the film franchise failed to impress the audience as these films did not gain huge success and were considered a flop, but some of the characters in the movie did a great job throughout the films.

After movies, the novel series is being adapted for a Disney+ series, as announced by the author of Percy Jackson books, Rick Riordan. This novel series is based on Greek mythology, and perhaps a television series might be a better alternative for its source material compared to movies. There are various characters from the films which have great potential to return to the TV series, including the leading character in the films, Logan Lerman. In this article, we have listed four actors who should return to the upcoming Disney+ TV series.

Logan Lerman

The casting of Logan Lerman was not an accurate casting for the character of Percy Jackson because he is supposed to be a much younger character. According to the novel books, Percy is a 12-years old character, but Logan was in his late teens when the first film was released. However, Logan is a great actor, and we have seen his incredible acting in films such as Fury and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Though it is impossible to see him returning as Percy Jackson, his memorable appearance in the series would be a great decision.

Brandon T Jackson

The actor Brandon T Jackson portrays the character of Grover Underwood in the Percy Jackson movies. However, he has also shown to be a different character in the films than in novels, but he could still add enough wit and charm by his funny role. He is shown to be a person with a carefree attitude in the films. He would also miss playing the Grover character in the upcoming television series because of his age, just like Lerman. But, he has the potential to play a fantastic comedic character.

Catherine Keener

Catherine Keener is one of the finest actresses in Hollywood. She has impressed the audiences in both her TV and film roles so far. In the Percy Jackson films, she portrays the character of Sally Jackson, who is the mother of Percy Jackson. The films were unable to show the accurate emotional arc of Sally Jackson. The first book tells Sally a very brief character, but Percy becomes closer to her after she goes missing. Keener can play some excellent dramatic roles in the upcoming television series.

Steve Coogan

Steve Coogan portrays the character of Hades in the Percy Jackson films. He is Percy Jackson’s uncle and known as the god of the Underwood. Zeus betrays Hades, who is the brother of Hades and the ruler of the heavens. Steve Coogan has performed beautifully in this film. His character won the hearts of many people. Although the meeting of Hades with Percy is way different than novels in the film, he still can add enough wit and charm by his impressive acting in the upcoming Disney+ TV series.

In this article, we have concluded that all of the above-listed characters have great potential to play their roles, respectively, and should return to the upcoming Disney+ series.
