According to Variety, Virgina Kull, Glynn Turman, Jason Mantzoukas, Megan Mullally and Timm Sharp are all set to appear in recurring guest roles in the series. Īdditionally, several other stars have been cast in key roles. Walker Scobell was the first one to be cast in a lead role, but after that, it was confirmed that Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri were set to star as Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

That’s one thing we most certainly want to see in this new adaptation. Thankfully, it seems that we’re going to be getting the correct aging for our favorite characters now. With the Percy Jackson films, the characters were significantly aged up from their book counterparts, something many fans were not happy with, considering a big part of the series was for Percy to advance in his powers from age 12-16, and yet, he was already sixteen in the first film. This casting, honestly, makes sense as well in terms of the ages of the characters. Known for his breakout role in the very popular Netflix film, The Adam Project, where he played a younger version of Ryan Reynolds’ character, Adam, Scobell has broken out as a great young actor, and I have a feeling he’ll be the perfect choice for Percy. We have found our Percy Jackson, who will be played by Walker Scobell. Already, we have a pretty well-rounded Percy Jackson and the Olympians cast, so you’ll be seeing plenty of stars in this new Disney+ show.
