NO, he should not be Hercules! Michael B. Jordan is a great actor but this is not the role for him and he does not fit the character. He doesn’t look the part or play characters like this.
I think Tom Hopper from Umbrella Academy would be PERFECT!!!!
I’ve had enough of this, please for the love of God just keep the live action similar to how the original story was. This is just straight up racism and its going to get to a point where Disney will start to get lawsuits from actors that should have been casted for the role.
Educate yourself, is Pocahontas just a cartoon too or Greek ethnics do not deserve respect to our heritage because we’re not dark skinned enough? The hypocrisy is real….
So Greek mythology figures are now going to be black? Looks like they got inspired by that dumb Netflix Cleopatra show. They’re really smoking bad weed down there in Disney

It’s a JOKE. Disney start to be a joke. No-one will be watching it soon. Disney will be finish if he will go on. Terrible management. Company going down with every remake which they touched. Sad
Disney should cast Greek actors ! The Greeks have suffered so much from genocide , their historic treasures stolen , financial crisis . Now they’re history and mythology . Give some young Greeks the opportunity and honor !
As a Greek myself I’ll tell you that none of that matters, our culture is out there to be freely appropriated, our heritage occasionally borrowed by anyone because we’re not white enough to be respected or black enough to
pull the victim card…..
Come on…. “Fans”? If we disagree with a decision to COMPLETELY change a beloved character, we’re ignored as fans? Only woke lefties can be fans I guess
Please no! Love MBJ but this is not his role! Can he even sing(that’s if we’re going to see a live action Go The Distance)? Preferred it when you all were looking at Taron Egerton (sp)
A joke. If this was a movie based on an Abrahamic figure, I guarantee you he or she would not be black.
They do everything they can to stomp on SUPERIOR Western culture. They cry about xenophobia all the while place a savage where a Demigod should be. Hilarious. I pray to the Gods for the day Hollywood falls.
So casting a Latina girl to play snow white wasn’t enough now they’re making a black Hercules?? This is straight up racism, it doesn’t matter if it’s reversed.
Oh they have attempted replacing Greeks with blacks and southwest Asians multiple times. Greek actress was rejected in Troy for being too pale while Brad Pitt that is INDEED too pale to be Greek was a protagonist. Cleopatra was also a sore subject and if you notice even the cartoon Hercules includes black women. As a Greek I’m horrified not because I feel superior or inferior to anyone, I don’t believe in this shit, but when the same people who gatekeep even dumb hairstyles come to grab my herritage, it makes me wanna stomp them to the ground…. it’s not the race, it’s the audacity….I have the same feeling for some white Europeans or Americans who come to Greece for vacation and act like they own the freaking place.
The masses are not “awaiting” Snow White. That girl is a brat and a punk and will eventually fail in her life. No class what so ever.
As for Hercules, this just makes me sad. I no longer believe in this company and have not felt inspired by their stories in a long time. I agree that Hercules should be a Greek actor but that just doesn’t matter to the people in charge of the live actions. They are so worried about pleasing one group that they are completely disrespecting so many others and losing true fans. Overall, I’m very disappointed in this company. There’s no magic left. That is all.
These people in charge at Disney right now is killing Disney. Where’s the magic, It’s so sad, Walt is rolling in his grave😔 Just stop Disney, Stop with the turning your animated movies into live action especially when you keep pushing this woke crap down our throats keeping certain groups happy😡 Greek gods are black huh🤔 sure sure they are smh🙄 Remember Disney you go woke, you go broke, which would be really heartbreaking after all these awesome 100yrs of Disney😭
STOP WITH THE WOKENESS ALREADY, JUST BE THE OLD DISNEY THAT WE ALL HAVE COME TO KNOW AND LOVE. ❤️🖤
He’s too old to play Hercules. Wasn’t Hercules like 16-18 and isn’t this guy like 40? And plus can he sing? I really hope they don’t cut the songs that were in the animated version because those are some of my most favorite Disney songs ever

Getting really excited for the live action version of “Princess and the Frog” with a white girl playing Tiana!!
Ste Lou
They would cause a scene AGAIN and Tiana is not even someone’s heritage like Hercules is to us.
HerculeswasGreek/Roman
Dear lord they havent learned their lesson. Guess we need to start a coordinated shorting of their stock and cut their valuation in half again

It’s called acting. But no, I won’t see it because I have no interest, not because of racial musical chairs.
J
If Disney is going to stray from the original look of the animated characters, I’d say MBJ is the best choice for the role.
Ste Lou
Yeah, I guess Taylor Swift would make an amazing Tiana…..wtf.
Leslie Vetor
I think Mark Wahlberg would play a great Malcom X.

I seen that there might be a Popeyes movie with Will Smith as Popeye.
