At this time, it has not been officially confirmed who will take on the lead role of Hercules. However, there had also been talk that Chris Pratt, Armie Hammer, and Chris Hemsworth might have all also been approached for the leading role.
Before this leak, as we previously shared, fans have already been arguing who should take on the role of Hercule’s love interest Megara. Many fans have said the role should go to Ariana Grande. In fact, some fans believe this casting to be the only option for the character — so much so that a petition online was started in support of the casting.
