In a recent red carpet interview, Logan Lerman addresses the rumors about making a cameo appearance in the new Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and his reaction has stirred up even more speculation. After announcing production on the new Rick Riordan adaptation, fans were excited but hesitant to learn that the beloved series is getting a second chance. The original film franchise received heavy criticism for veering too far from the novels. It seems Disney+ has already avoided major mistakes, in part because Riordan is involved with the series this time around and can help keep the story authentic.
The release of Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief in 2010 earned impressive numbers at the box office but did not earn strong audience approval. Many fans loved the young trio made up of Lerman, Brandon T. Jackson as Grover, and Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth, but strongly disliked how the story was changed for the film. A second film, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was released in 2013, but the planned third film in the franchise was canceled. After the new series was announced in 2020, fans questioned whether the original cast members would be featured in some small way. One dominant theory is that Lerman could be cast as Poseiden and make an appearance as the father of the new Percy, played by Walker Scobell.
