“Hercules”: the details of the live-action film produced by Anthony and Joe Russo

As happened with “Aladdin” (2019), filmmaker Guy Ritchie (“Sherlock Holmes”, “King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword”) will be in charge of the realistic remake of “Hercules” (1997), about which some details are known. The film will be produced by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, recognized for their work for Marvel Studios in productions such as Captain America and the Winter Soldier (2014), “Captain America: Civil War” (2016) and the closing of the Saga, “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018) and “Avengers: Endgame” (2019). Given the partnership between Marvel and Disney, the filmmakers — who even come to praise the Oscar-nominated Argentine film “Argentina, 1985” — will be responsible for bringing to the big screen one of the company’s most beloved classics, in turn inspired by Greek myths. As they told the media Games Radar+ In the middle of last year, the intention will not be to replicate its predecessor but to generate a version for the new generations. And your challenge will be to preserve the “subversive” and “fun” spirit of the original. On the other hand, another version was gaining strength: that actor Danny DeVito wants to return to play the satyr Fil (of Philoctetes), whom he played with his voice for the 1997 film. It should be remembered that if his participation is generated, it would not be the only interpretation of the actor in a Disney live action, since he was part of the cast of “Dumbo” (2020). On the other hand, it is about to release another remake: “The Haunted Mansion” that will arrive on July 27 in theaters in Latin America.Meanwhile, Disney continues the project of generating realistic versions of its classics, this year with “Peter Pan and Wendy” for Disney +, and with “The Little Mermaid”, which recently revealed its first trailer.
