DeVito will voice Phil again.
Bale is the top choice for Hades.
>>Hugh Jackman is the top choice for Zeus.
Not enough to save it.
Can we stop with the mixed race couples already? Like, don't they have enough representation at this point? How about studios become genuinely inclusive and look for Greek actors who were born and raised in Greece but can still speak English very well and hire them. Wouldn't that be awesome instead? If Disney decided the way to diversity was to give other cultures and ethnicities a chance instead of just making everything look like it's from California.

KJ Apa isn't white.
Bale & Jackman aren't Greek.
Neither are gods.
Indeed. But she's the closest one listed to being of the regional ethnicity. Weird to complain about her. Do people not know far southern europeans can be pretty swarthy?
I'm not complaining of her race accurate casting. Maybe it will inspire her to stop trying to act black and embrace her ancestral whiteness.
Yes, I meant the anon trying to make this seem like some racial purity thing.
>ariana starts up a local mafia operation
And the Disney versions are notably unnatural-looking. Hades doesn't pass for a real human etc. The real issue is that the Woods performance was so distinct.
>And the Disney versions are notably unnatural-looking
Huh... yeah... like an animated movie can be stylistic, or something, and there's going to be a glaring issue with these live action remakes in comparison to the originals, or something.
Not sure what your point is. The gods aren't human and weren't drawn to be the same as the human characters. That doesn't mean a live-action adaptation will refrain from making the non-human characters look non-human.
As always, this is a production no one asked for that has no need to be made, but that's not really the topic OP wants to cry about.
Wrong. She’s better doing what she’s doing now than trying to be a Katy Perry or Taylor Swift.
US-centric worldview motherfricker doesn't know how any theologies besides the Abrahamic religions defines a "god."
Anything x black women is the most based thing in the fricking world you homosexual
Ariana Grande is Sicilian, which is just Italian for Greek.
She's a white Sicilian American who thinks she's a black Latina
It's Italian for Black person.
Obsessed racist
>Obsess about "representation" for decades
>Call everyone noticing overcorrection "obsessed"
>instead of just making everything look like it's from California.
You ask too much of people who's experience with other cultures begins and ends at a Taco Bell menu.
Ariana Grande is Italian.
So you don't want diversity, cool. Shut up and let them keep doing what they're doing then since it's no longer diversity
KJ Apa and Ariana Grande are both white you fricking moron.
She's literally white. She's just been wearing blackface for so long that people forgot she isn't.
Jesus Christ she would never have gotten away with that shit today. She shouldn't have gotten away with it back then either.
>Jesus Christ she would never have gotten away with that shit today
The right pick is "today" Arianna only got famous in the 2010s.
She and Awkwafina got away with blackspeak and blackface for years, it was only in 2020 during the George Floyd cultural revolution they started getting called out by the public.
She does though. I went to kohls a while back to do an Amazon return and saw a huge poster of her in Blackmode looking literally blacker than Halle Berry.
People here are acting like Victorious and Sam & Cat didn't exist where she was playing a white bimbo. She must have good PR to gaslight the entire world to think shes not a white girl
She was way hotter as a cherry red bimbo too. Like she's not ugly now but she was straight fricking sex when I was a teen and I don't even fricking like red heads.
Hey, if men can claim to be women why can't a white girl act like she's black? It's equality!
>redhead to dark skinned
The jokes write themselves.
is she hot or just skinny?
Regional diversity doesn't according to Hollywood.
I remember when Ariana was White with red hair

Kj apa is good casting
Bale is a great actor, but I can't see him as Hades for some reason, unless if they go with a more serious take on the character, which sounds kind of boring.
Probably because Batman was more recent than American Psycho.
I don't have high hopes for Hades no matter who they cast him as because part of the joy was watching the animation go overboard with his design and tempter, which Woods' energy could match perfectly.
DeVito will voice Phil again.
I don't think this is a good idea. As funny as Danny is, he's getting long in the tooth. I don't have any hopes that this isn't going to be like James Earl Jones voicing Mufasa again.
He played Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Cheney. I don't think Hades will be that challenging.
Wrong board
I've never seen Bale in a comedic role. He always plays hyper serious guys or goes for oscar bait roles. I believe he's capable of doing comedy, I just have never seen it.
>Christian Bale is the top choice for Hades
I honestly didn't read most of OP.
This alone was enough to tell me everything would be shit.
The guy who played Archie in Riverdale, KJ Apa, is great casting.
>24 posts
>15 IPs
>A bunch of posts going "DISNEY CASTING IS... LE GOOD" all of a sudden in quick succession
Holy shit, you gotta hide that samehomosexualry a little harder there, pal.
Even though she’s 30, Ariana has a youthful look to her that makes her look way too young to be Meg
She can stop using make up for a week.
>What is baby's essence injected directly into the pores?
Does Greece not have an acting scene?
Hire Greeks to play Greek characters.
Gods will be black. Don't care.
So these castings suck, Riverdale feels to old for Herc and Ariana Grande feels to young for Meg. Here needs to feel like a young wide eyed boy scout so 22 is like the oldest he should be. Meanwhile Meg needs to feel like someone in her 30's. Bale as Hades would just be Gorr again and Jackman doesn't quite have the same energy as Riptorn. Keeping DeVito as Phil is also just really lazy.
I have never and will never watch one of these "live action" Disney remakes.
Obviously black Hercules will go over as well as obviously black Ariel so it's good that not-NBA Jordan passed
Honestly I feel bad for Jordan, he's one of the only newer black actors they push super hard that can genuinely act and do a great job, he's fricking good in Creed, so long as you give him good material. But outside of Creed he keeps getting suckered into and attached to shitpile projects. Also IIRC somebody in Rooster Teeth scammed him out of a few million or something by abusing his trust and him being an /m/ autist.
I'm glad he's not gonna be Hercules though, thank frick. It's depressing as shit but this unironically looks like the least shit casting job for the live actions. If my local theater does a sale like they usually do on tickets and the word on it isn't absolutely horrible I might, might, go see this one.
Yet more proof RoosterTeeth deserves to go kaput already
>somebody in Rooster Teeth scammed him out of a few million or something by abusing his trust and him being an /m/ autist.
Details please
follows the animated version pretty closely, adding a subplot about Hercules doing the 12 labors and a stinger about Hercules joining the Argonauts to set up a sequel.
The Greek market already didn't like the cartoon and it's on the lower tier of popularity among the Renaissance cartoons
Unlike Mulan they could stand to make Hercules more myth accurate like being the bastard of horny Zeus
the greek market is fricking moronic then because hercules is a top 5 (2D) disney movie
Wasn't ariana white before she put on professional blackface?
Yeah she was pretty pasty when she was younger
so it will actually be a white girl playing megara. not just white, but the whitest white--a ginger. why is everyone upset about this?
or maybe it's because uneducated american swine butchered their heritage and mythology. they can't even pronounce heracles right. as in, his mother was hera. hera-cles. get it?
imagine china makes a movie about america and renames george washington as gorb washeton.
>or maybe it's because uneducated american swine butchered their heritage and mythology. they can't even pronounce heracles right. as in, his mother was hera. hera-cles. get it?
>His mother was Hera
Anon I...
None of the Disney adaptations are faithful. Look at what they did with Pocahontas, dumbass. An actual REAL LIFE historical person.
Get some fricking Greeks or even vaguely Mediterranean people in here for fricks sake
follows the animated version pretty closely, adding a subplot about Hercules doing the 12 labors
So how will Hades be the villain then?
He will probably try to sabotage Herc.
Gorr was pretty comedic at times.
>Script follows the animated version pretty closely, adding a subplot about Hercules doing the 12 labors and a stinger about Hercules joining the Argonauts to set up a sequel.
I was with you until this. Disney doesn't do sequels for its LA projects.
>but Aladdin!
Haven't heard from it since 2019.
>but Gaston & LeFou!
might as well be dead after the big culling this year.
>>but Gaston & LeFou!
it got officially cancelled during covid. They were planning to make Gaston gay with LeFou so I'm glad it's cancelled.

Bale is the top choice for Hades
>not James Woods
It's shit, Jim.
Disney hades without James wood's isn't fricking Disney hades. Hell, they supposedly re write the character to better fit James voice acting.
Can Disney just go back to making 2d films already
Meg is made for mindbreaking
Grande is the top choice for Meg and interested in the role.
If Walt Disney were alive, he would choose Francesca Capaldi
