Disney is hoping Hercules will go from zero to hero again, this time in live-action. The studio has reportedly tapped Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo to produce, but not direct, a live-action remake of their 1997 animated film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hercules will be scripted by Dave Callaham (Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Doom, The Expendables). The Russos will produce via their AGBO production company. The project is in very early development and there's no director attached yet. The film is also not at the casting stage yet. 1997's Hercules voice cast included Tate Donovan, Danny DeVito, James Woods, and Susan Egan.

Ever since the massive success of 2017's Beauty and the Beast, Disney has leaned into live-action remakes of and sequels to their animated classics (although in the case of The Lion King, "live-action" really means photorealism). [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/29/the-25-best-disney-animated-movies"] The Russo brothers' next directorial effort is the drama Cherry, starring Tom Holland. They also produced Netflix's Extraction, starring Chris Hemsworth and directed by Sam Hargrave. All four talents will join IGN today, at 5pm PT, for a Watch From Home Theater breaking down the action-thriller.
