That makes me think the new Hercules will be similar to what we’re getting with the live-action Mulan, which is following the same basic beats of the animated Mulan, but has changed a handful of things up, like most of the supporting cast.
So while it doesn’t sound like the live-action Hercules will be radically altering the formula of its animated predecessor, like what Maleficent did with Disney’s original Sleeping Beauty, it sounds like there will be a handful of differences to make it stand out from its animates predecessor.
