Oh, why is that funny? Young Hercules was super gangly built and skinny. Have you seen the film? He didn't get all big and muscular till I started working out with Phil and became an adult. Lol

I would assume that unless they make Young Hercules an actual child role they won't cast it as two people and instead they'll just pull out the same program they used to make Chris Evans the scrawny pre-Super Soldier Serum Steve Rogers.

Celia Gooding from Jagged Little Pill tweeted that she thinks it would be cool to play a muse since her mom was one in the Disney animated film.

If they did do a young herc, Timothee Chalamet I could see.

I would say Tom Holland over Chalamet.

Better be careful. Last time Ms. Erivo was "dream cast" as a Muse she decided that everyone was racist for not wanting her as Megara.

Elizabeth Gillies better be cast as Meg. And not Ariana Grande!

I feel like this was a really cute idea, though I don’t have enough of an idea of her vocal range outside of JLP to get a read on if this is a good idea or not. She has the sass down though

Adrienne Warren, unless we're saving her for the inevitable live action version of The Princess and the Frog.

Why not the OGs? Roz, Lillias, LaChanze and Cheryl are still active in the industry. Not sure about Vaneesa.

I love the original muses as much as anyone, but their voices just aren’t quite as powerful as they were in 1997. I’d love for them to have cameos in the movie, though! Of course, we’re all just assuming this version will actually be a musical - they could try to pull a Mulan and use the songs as musical underscoring instead of actually being sung.

If you’ll go for color-blind casting Lesli Margherita would be excellent as a muse, great vocal chops and comic timing.

Not sure about the Muses, but I'd like to see Billy Magnussen play Hercules. He has the build, and he's worked with Disney before (as Rapunzel's Prince in "Into the Woods.)

I could see it, he is only 5'11, and I always imagined Hercules being over 6 feet , but they could easily make him look taller
