Dave Callaham wrote the first draft of the script and Disney is in the process of hiring writers to develop it further. The film will be produced by AGBO, the production company run by Avengers: Endgame directing duo Joe and Anthony Russo.

Ritchie is a pretty obvious director for this project because he already has a great track record with Disney. He previously worked on the live-action remake of Aladdin starring Will Smith, Mena Massoud, and Naomi Scott, which grossed over $1 billion worldwide in 2019.

Following its release, Ritchie took a break from kid-friendly projects and returned to the action genre with The Gentlemen and Wrath of Man. His next film Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre doesn’t have a release date after being pulled from the release schedule, but he’s also been working on the untitled action thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

Hercules joins Disney’s busy slate of live-action remakes. Pinocchio and Peter Pan & Wendy will hit the theatres later this year, while The Little Mermaid is set for the 2023 release date.

The Hollywood Reporter was first to confirm that Disney is in the early development of its 1997 animated musical movie Hercules.

While not much is known of the project, sources confirm that the studio has tapped writer Dave Callaham to pen the script. Joe and Anthony Russo, the Avengers: Endgame and Infinity War filmmakers, are set to produce via their AGBO banner. The Russos are the only producers on the project and will not direct. 

The original retelling of the Greek legend voice starred Tate Donovan as the demigod while James Woods played Hades.
