The “Percy Jackson” Disney+ series has found its leading man. Walker Scobell has been cast in the titular role in the Rick Riordian adaptation “Percy Jackson and the Olmypians.”
Scobell made waves earlier this year when he played the younger version of Ryan Reynolds in the Netflix sci-fi action film “The Adam Project.”
The Disney Branded Television series is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios, and will start production this summer.
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” tells the fantastical story of a 12-year-old modern demigod, Percy Jackson, who’s just coming to terms with his newfound supernatural powers when the sky god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt.
