This project would be the second one redo in live-action for the director after his redo from Aladdin in 2019, where Will Smith played the iconic genius we all know and is one of the The best characters from disney movies.

This proof, although it is not much, is very important if we take it into account News about the next Hercules movie has remained quiet for several months, especially after the Hollywood strikes halted production at the end of 2023.

However, the film’s producers, Joe and Anthony Russo, are familiar to you Avengers: Infinity War (2018) y Avengers: Endgame (2019)confirmed that the film is still in the ovenbut yes: it cooks very slowly.

We will have a new Hercules movie

We see the legendary hero in live action

During an interview with GamesRadar+, the representatives talked about the upcoming projects, giving a lot of information about Tyler Rake 3 y Invisible agent 2. But, of course, this was the perfect time to be learn more about the forgotten redo of Hercules of Ritchie.

So that, The representative brothers confirmed that this plan is going ahead. However, they made it clear that it is extremely difficult to calculate a production table because They are still waiting for Guy Ritchie’s script.

This statement makes some noise, well, the redo from live-action of one of the The best movies from disney, Hercules (1997) first confirmed in 2020, and has since suffered countless delays, from actor strikes to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, what gives it some credence is that we have seen how Guy Ritchie is busy with his own original ideasWell, as of this same date, Richie has directed four movies: Awaken the Fury (2021), Operation Fortune: The Great Hoax (2023), Guy Ritchie: The Deal (2023) and, more recently, Ministry of War (2024) – where we met statements by Henry Cavill about the possibility of being the next James Bond-. In addition to a successful streak, The Gentlemenin which he was able to turn the special into an 8-episode show highly recommended.

Hercules is on his way, but at a very slow pace

It’s a little hard to understand How does Ritchie find time to work on the redo from Hercules because even today the director’s portfolio is full of new projects. Right now, he is working hard on it Aladdin 2 newa sequel to his first redo from live-action from Disney; and in a television series called The Donovan.

In contrast, The Russo brothers also have a very tight schedule For the last few years, therefore, the renowned director duo is closely monitoring the production The State of Electricity, a film starring Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt and Ke Huy Quan. Likewise, they are also monitoring the new drama series Miss Scarlet & the Dukewhich is about the FTX cryptocurrency scandal.

And if this was not enough, the producer brothers They are also present in 15 other projects…

The modern version of the beloved classic Disney story

Unfortunately we have to keep waiting a while longer.

Although Guy Ritchie is in charge of bringing this to life redoalmost all the news about the secret project has come to light thanks to the producers Joe and Anthony Russo.

In 2022, when the brothers talked about the remake at the time, they noted that While it will honor the original story, it will have a “newer twist”.

Joe said that he and Anthony were very happy with how much fun the original film was, so They try to keep this sense of humor in the redo.

But, Disney has a reputation with a live-action It has not been better. Although we have great success as The Jungle Book (2016), Peter and the Dragon (2016) y Cruella (2021)Disney also drags a wave of horrendous failures like Dumbo (2019), The Lion King (2019) and his own Aladdin (2019) of Ritchie.

Although, we cannot make any statement about it based on the past performances, only It remains to be hoped that the cult classic will be well received which tells the story of the legendary hero of Greek mythology and his fight with Hades, one of the The best disney villainsin the form of fun and not at all animated music, which has a good dose of action and above all, a ton of funny scenes that make it so special.
