Live. Action. Hercules. YAAASSSS!!!! I have been wanting this for so long! Hercules and the Emperors New Groove are my go to re-watch Disney animated films. The humor and sass are just perfection. I have thought about who would play what character in Hercules once Disney started on its live-action remake kick. Honestly, until I really thought about it today, there was only one person in my mind that NEEDED to be in any version of a remake, and I think everyone can guess who that is. So, here are my thoughts on who I want to be cast: Phil: Danny DeVito – Ok, so this is the most obvious casting choice since Disney recast James Earl Jones as Mufasa! Just like James Earl Jones, Danny DeVito’s portrayal of Phil is just ICONIC. Plus, the internet will 110% revolt if he isn’t cast to reprise his role. Zeus: Chris Hemsworth – He’s already Thor, right? So how funny/great would it be if the Russo Brothers were like “hey Chris, wanna hurl some lightning bolts off of Mount Olympus?” ...
