Danny DeVito (rightfully) wants to be in Disney's live-action Hercules movie. 'If they don't put me in that, they don't have a hair on their a--.'
Danny DeVito asks to be in Disney's upcoming live-action Hercules remake after voicing Philoctetes in the original animated film. Released in 1997, Hercules was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. The film tells the story of the son of Zeus and Hera who fights to reclaim his immortality by becoming a true hero. Tate Donovan provided the voice of the titular Hercules, while James Woods voiced Hades, the film's central antagonist.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In 2020, it was announced that a live-action remake of Hercules was in the works, with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo joining the project as producers under the banner of their AGBO production company. Guy Ritchie, who previously directed 2019's successful live-action Aladdin remake, is slated to direct the upcoming Hercules project with a script from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings scribe David Callaham.
Although proving somewhat divisive among critics, Ritchie's live-action Aladdin remake was a massive success financially, earning over $1.051 billion at the box office. With the director now set to helm Hercules as well, expectations are likely high for the upcoming remake.
