According to THR however , there are already some very familiar and intriguing names behind the Hercules remaking . Joe and Anthony Russo , the Marvel stars behind Avengers of the Infinity War and Endgame smorgasbord ( as well as two Captains America , The Winter Soldier and Civil War ) are allegedly on card to not direct the movie , but produce it through their caller AGBO . They ’re also not the only Marvel - neighboring names attach : Expendables scribe Dave Callaham , who also pen the script for Destin Daniel Cretton’supcoming Shang - Chi filmfor Marvel studio , is evidently on circuit board to write .
What Callaham ’s action background signal might say about Disney ’s approach to this new Hercules is hard to say definitively just yet — perhaps , muchlike Mulan before it , the more musical - driven element of the animated original could give room to the more literally epic action of the gods . We ’ll have to wait and see .
