Favreau has directed two of Disney’s most successful remakes in 2016’s The Jungle Book and 2019’s The Lion King, both of which performed superbly well at the box office.
The studio has allegedly tapped Jeffery Silver of The Lion King and Tron: Legacy fame alongside The Mandalorian’s Karen Gilchrist to produce.
The first name is a familiar one, and the man behind several of the Disney live-action remakes that have been made so far, Jon Favreau.
With regards as to who will be behind the camera for Hercules, a few names are being touted.
