Disney finds its newest Percy Jackson in Walker Scobell

The Disney+ transformation of the Percy Jackson series has tracked down its legend. Entertainer Walker Scobell will assume the nominal part of the youthful mythical being for the impending series, as indicated by series creator Rick Riordan.

Riordan declared the news Monday, it was a “super-fan” of the book series and is unbelievably energized for the venture to say Scobell.

“Walker Scobell is an amazingly gifted young fellow who blew us away with his tryout tapes for the job of Percy,” Riordan said in an explanation. “It was clear to me and the remainder of the group that Walker had the ideal blend of comedic timing, pleasantness, insubordination, nastiness and courage to typify our legend, Percy Jackson.

The series will be founded on Riordan’s well-known novel “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” which recounts the narrative of 12-year-old Percy, who finds he’s the child of Poseidon and a mysterious camp for diving beings, all while going on a journey to save the human world from a battle between the divine beings.

This will not be Percy Jackson’s first time moving from the page to the screen. “The Lightning Thief” was made into a film in 2010 featuring Logan Lerman, however following motion pictures were rejected after the debut of the continuation earned unfortunate reaction from fans and pundits, as well as a bleak film industry appearing.

Scobell’s latest undertaking was Netflix’s time travel blockbuster “The Adam Project.” The youthful entertainer featured close by Ryan Reynolds, Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo.

Chris McCardell, who played Percy Jackson in the series’ Broadway variation, praised Scobell on Monday.

“At the point when I was projected my mother sent me a card that said: “Assuming my life will make a difference, I need to live it myself,” he said, taking note of a popular statement from the series. “This is me giving that card to Walker Scobell. Go off, go in, live it yourself. You are in extraordinary hands and we are so.excited.for you.”
