I saw the instagram post about it and the comments are filled with hate for Zeus' actor. It's confusing to see people say that Zeus shouldn't be black, because gods can look however they want. Anyways I think the actors are fantastic for the roles
For the bean necklace : I think I remember that Annabeth give him her necklace before he goes battling Ares :) Also let me tell you, I don't know the actor for Zeus but the one for Poseidon is just perfect casting! He plays the main role in Black Sails (an amazing serie that references Greek Mythologie more than once, btw, especially regarding the main character), and he is an incredible actor, touching and imposing, managing to bring humanity into a character everyone is afraid of... And yes, his voice acting is amazing too! He was actually my dream cast for Poseidon so I am really really happy about it xD
In the PJO universe God's can appear however they want. So them not looking like brothers is fine by me. As far as I'm concerned unless they share a moral parent it shouldn't matter how much two siblings look like each other.
Even so, if you want diversity in your franchise, just make your own characters, it’s a lot more creative than changing a character’s race. But I do admit, Rick cast him on the basis of talent.
I do understand your opinion, and as a hindu, I wouldn't like a white Indra, an african american Yama, or NE asian Vishnu. These are folks' beliefs and toying with them is a BAD idea. Nothing against the actor. Rick obviously cast off of acting ability and I respect that. I support the rest of the cast too.
It would be funny if instead of a Heroes of Olympus Spinoff or a Trials of Apollo Spinoff they swerve off the road and are like "NOPE, YOU THOUGHT!" and made a Magnus Chase show (which I would love to see.)
As long as hes a good actor it doesnt really matter but why not just have these characters be portrayed as other races in the book? That way people couldnt complain about the change for tv/movies
i feel like 8 episodes is kinda perfect for season one. i'm pretty sure each episode is gonna be about an hour long each so each episode can cover 3ish chapters. percy does a good deal on inner monologuing which i bet won't be in the show. plus becky said they're adding in some scenes so that plot holes are filled and things make more sense.
My only concern is people only want positive representation for black people, not like I can blame them and Zeus is anything but, positive representation. He is terrible in the Percy Jackson books, and I downright hate him in actual Greek mythology. And for those who are aware of Greek myth you wouldn’t blame me
Sounds good to me. I can’t remember who plays Athena, but I need the council of the wise old owl right now in my life. This has nothing to do with the book, or your video, but I have a very big test coming up on Monday. I’m not ready, not in the least. thank you for the video. And if you can tell me who plays Athena, I will do the rest of it on my own. I don’t need to bother you with my wife.
I heard that ‘Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods’ is coming out on sept. 26 2023! (Thats my birthday so im really excited y’all! (Not saying how old im turning 🤪)
right?! he's so tall now! according to google lance is 6'2 and toby is 5'11 and walker only looks a few inches shorter than toby. walker is either gonna stop growing soon or continue growing and be more than 6'0!
So they're going to make Thalia and Jason black. That's going to take some getting used to. Still getting used to Annabeth and I assume Athena being black.
Okay, guys, I know what a lot of us thinking "Zeus Shouldn't Be Black" But! You must see this guy in action! He is incredible. He has this "out of this world" vibe and his voice is to die for. He was actor in Fringe (remember when JJ Abrams was filming TV series? Its so cool, must watch) and Silence in Horizon game franchise. This dude is so underrated that it's a CRIME He is this type of actor, that you may have doubts when you see his pictures, but when he is in the role. Confidence, authority... Just chef's kiss!
He is a great actor, I've seen him in Bosch. However, Zeus shouldn't be black because the character is Greek. An actor of Greek descent should have taken the part.
@@puterboy2 I understand, as partially Greek especially. But I do love him so much, he is a great actor I I want him to shine in this role, so more people would get to know him. He is black, yes. But, please, see him in "role" he will blow your mind
I think Zeus’ actor is amazing, he has that strict look. But, for Poseidon, he seems wayy too serious. And in the last photo, they didn’t even give him his Hawaiian shirt ! Just a normal one, I have to admit I’m a bit disappointed though. I really hope the acting makes up for it
i think it's kinda nice that in the announcement photo they have zeus smiling and poseidon looking more serious. people always take zeus as this super serious "i never have fun or smile" type god, and sure he is super serious and respectable, but also has a softer side we don't see often that's forgotten about. same with poseidon, people always take him to be fun loving and more loose than his brothers but there are times when he's very serious or kinda strict acting. i do hope toby is wearing a blue hawaiian type shirt in the show tho because i can't imagine poseidon not wearing something like that!
Actually it was in a form of a cuckoo. And Zeus didn’t seduce Hera but, forced himself on her. Idk if I should say the r word. With how Zeus acts in Greek myth I personally feel sorry for the actor that has to portray him

Frrr they shouldn’t be mad even if the gods couldn’t look however they want like chilllll

Lance consistently brings his A game. Even if ppl didnt like the Resident Evil tv show you cant deny the dude was a great actor
I’m excited to see him in action
Rest in Peace Lance Reddick ❤
Can't wait to see your portrayal of Zeus in this show. Even if it may not be much
It's going to be a priviledge watching his performance in season 1

I’m happy to hear that 😊
Lance is such good casting for Zeus, he brings a level of authority you can't really get from anyone else.
Edit: 🥺🥺🥺
I'm excited to see what he's got
But Zeus doesn’t have authority aura. He screams of man child that isn’t afraid to throw hands with a child. Greek myth he is also a skirt chaser
YOU WEREN'T ASLEEP CONGRATULATIONS
IKR CONGRATS
I WAS THIS CLOSE 👌🏻
I’m so happy with this casting!!
It’s looking good 👍🏻
Ahhhhhhh omg I'm Soo excited
It’s all happening so soon!
As soon as I saw the announcement, i had to see your reaction video, you didn't disappoint 💙
And cant wait for the series to air, love the cast too

Omg! They wrapped up filming three days ago!!! Ahhhhh!It should take about 8 months or more or less to be finished with editing, etc! But ahhhhhhh!
it's so much closer now!!! 2024 is just around the corner, and I'm sure we'll at least get another teaser/trailer before that :)
@@Unclaimeddemigod god I pray we get one really really soon!
Omg I’m so excited !!! I cannot believe it’s getting so close!!

It would be funny if instead of a Heroes of Olympus Spinoff or a Trials of Apollo Spinoff they swerve off the road and are like "NOPE, YOU THOUGHT!" and made a Magnus Chase show (which I would love to see.)
YESSS
I love the casting. The big three are complete. We just need to wait for the little three.
Percy, Nico and Thalia
I’m hoping for 2 spin offs if this goes well and they get 5 seasons and if you can’t tell those spin offs are hero’s of Olympus and trials of Apollo
I would love to see that but if that ever does happen it’ll be like in 2040 😭
And Magnus chase
I wonder how they'll do Zeus' iconic beard.
I wonder if they even will, I personally don't care either way. If they do, they might just have him grow it out and dye it.
At this point, I’m inclined to believe that they won’t
There are fake beards and wigs.
IM SUPER EXCITED FOR CHALICE OF THE GODS
ONLY 8 MONTHS TO GO
PERCY GETS GIVEN ANABEATHS NECKLACE JUST BEFORE THE FIGHT WITH ARES
OMGS YAS AHHHHH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
ICONIC I knew I was forgetting something
Annabeth gives Percy, her necklace before the Aries fight
And I wonder why they decided to feature that here
Rest in peace Lance Reddick.
maybe the necklace is something Annabeth gives to Percy before he goes to Olympus or something...
In the first book Annabeth gave her necklace to Percy to wear for luck before his fight with Ares!
@@stephaniealvarez57 aaaaa yes I thought it was something like that! It’s interesting that they decided to show us that 🤔

8 episodes!!!! That's too little!! I want MORE!!... Ahem.. Sea of monsters season 2?
It’s looking green (as in it’s going to get green lit once season 1 comes out) 💚
I’m kinda glad it’s only 8 episodes cuz if it was more we would have to wait longer

I like Zeus's actor, although if he doesn't have a beard, ima riot
I think the suit is the most important part but yes, beard also important
I thought I was the only one who saw the necklace!
It feels illegal to be this early!💀
bro same here-
It has to happen once in a while, welcome
I like both, I'd like to see more of Lance Reddick, I liked the little bits I got of him from John Wick. Also who cares that he's black? He's a god?
Exactly! Unfortunately a lot of fans aren’t going to see it that way :/

Oh i forgot about the percy jackson show
How is that even possible? 😂
The necklace def means something....
But what 🤔
That was definitely not blush at all-
I overheat and I’m extremely pale okay?
I lived Toby in James Bond
what will happen with the actor that plays zeus who died in real life
He's gonna have to be recast. That's what happens with long running franchises like this
