NEW Percy Jackson Cast ANNOUNCEMENT || One Character Recast, One Original Character And Two Baddies

[@GirlintheSea]

I really love the idea of adding a Camp Halfblood graduate and expanding the Percy Jackson world! This is going to be really interesting!

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

it'll definitely be cool to have something completely new for us readers

[@solangelo_swifties_EPIC_fan]

I had no idea that you watched epic i literally screamed when you mentioned it!

[@PolitesPancake]

hehehehehehe epic the musical mention

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

you should've seen my spotify wrapped this year

[@PolitesPancake]

@@Unclaimeddemigod LOL same

[@mailyak442]

11:21 it’s interesting too cos unlike Camp Jupiter if they age up at CHB they’re basically neglected and left to fend for themselves, so resentment makes sense…

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

makes a lot of sense

[@fairycat23]

Luke, Allison, and Chris doing college kid things.

[@benjaminbrookes-staddon7228]

They're supposed to be finished filming at the end of January so we will get a (big?) announcement then...

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

looking forward to it

[@Nuha-b3q]

I really want to know Alison’s backstory because we have never got anything about campers who are too old for camp, so maybe we’ll get a bit of information there! And I really want to know, if she’s an older camper who left camp, what age would she be around, because if she’s around the ages of 18-22 then she might be able to be a love interest for Luke, tho I doubt that’ll happen

[@dariusporter358]

They could just say that Thalia’s mom has an accent and Thalia got hers from being around her mom.

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

true, but she hasn't been with her mother for YEARS and, being surrounded by americans at such a young age, she would've definitely lost the accent, imo

[@dariusporter358]

@@Unclaimeddemigod Yeah. That’s true.

[@legi1233]

I thought Kevin might play Beckendorf, cause he has the looks.

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

I wonder if we'll even get Beckendorf at this point or if they'll give his story line to another character

[@legi1233]

@@Unclaimeddemigod why do you think that?

[@mailyak442]

They’ve finished filming?! Ty for providing all the updates 🙏🏼😭

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

you are so welcome!

[@humbelduff2916]

I read the books in Norwegian, so Thalia being British is as big a difference for me as every other other character when watching the show.

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

haha fair enough

[@priyar4885]

I'm really excited for season 2, and I love the new casting updates as we go!!

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

let's see if we get any more of them

[@MollyMurphy-c5i]

Ummmm isn’t Nico Italian 7:14

[@kirayukimura4473]

3:35 The old actor who playes Chris had a few controversies ( selling things from the set, being racist towards Arabs, texting underage fans) so he was probably just fired

[@FannyFatty]

The girl they casted for Alison is exactly what I imagined Artemis to look like🤭🤭✌🏻✌🏻

[@REGGlECANTSWIM]

Why did i read baddies like that thing “heyy baddies pose for me” 😭

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

not what I was referencing 😆

[@rubyalexander6265]

i did a bit of looking up about Andrew Alvarez and APPARENTLY he was releasing / selling pictures of the cast to his friends / followers sooooo disney fired him. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TURE . hope this helps and that it is true🥰🥰

[@nickih1267]

WHOS MAKING A WATCH PARTY CHAT?! (IM GONNA CONVINCE MY TEACHERS TO WATCH THIS IN CLASS, I HAVE A WAY WITH WORDS ILL MAKE IT HAPPEN) 7:55 bro that’s genuinely insane, I hope that isn’t true bc that has to be so like uncomfortable or/and traumatic for Charlie.

[@FlamesongsLemons]

1:43 I almost spit my water on my monitor OH MY GOSH! I didn't know you listen to Epic!! What's your favorite song!! Also, How excited are you for the Ithaca Saga!?!?!?

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

The song that got me into the musical is Warrior of the Mind, Suffering has been stuck in my head for MONTHS, and I am BEYOND excited ffor the Ithaca Saga!!!

[@FlamesongsLemons]

@@Unclaimeddemigod The first song I heard from Epic was also Warrior of the mind!! I can't WAIT until Ithaca saga!!

[@NicklasZandeVGCP2001]

I predict the Echidna will be part of the Titan Army as well, since she has a good enough motivation to join it, due to her hatred of Olympus and demigod children of the big three. Edit: Also, I think Alison is going to be Luke's love interest in this version, as a replacement for the Lukabeth "relationship", because they want to make it clear that Annabeth and Luke should not be in a relationship, because they don't want to promote pedophilia to children. That's my theory for why she was created. (Also, I think she might be a mocking of online critics like Obscurus Lupa, who, while she went through a lot under Channel Awesome, is quite controvercial on Twitter/X for her mass blockings on LS Mark's video on content criticism, and the Power Rangers SPD copaganda accusations. Obviously this is a joke prediction, but, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the thought process behind her as a way to call out angry critics who make poor judgements before watching shows they review.)

edit : ignore this i wrote it before watching the entire video so i didn’t see her look it up lol i’m not exactly sure cuz i’ve only heard from tiktok comments which aren’t the best but im pretty sure they are switching chris’ character because he did some very controversial things ?? i don’t remember exactly what but that’s what i’ve heard

[@legi1233]

I don’t think they finished filming in general but filming outdoor, so now the only scenes left are the ones in front of the 360° screen (idk how it’s called xD)

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

huh

"There shouldn't be european demigods who were created in europe" sad DiAngelo noises...

Kevin Chacon should play Charlie Beckendorf he gives me Charlie vibes

[@irotr53]

1:57 Polyphemus is not a bad guy, he's misunderstood, I will defend him forever

[@Silly_Tilly1488]

Can you explain reasoning for that?? Sure, he lost his sheep and was mistreated by his brothers but he literally was ready to kill all 600 men despite accepting their consolation gift for killing his sheep. He literally says 600 lives I’ll break, he doesn’t just want to kill them, he enjoys that idea of crushing each of them and breaking them physically and mentally. He violates Xenia, the Greek rules of hospitality, by not providing them shelter for the night and treating them with respect. I really can’t see any points aside from those first two but they don’t make up for what he was planning on doing.

[@FlamesongsLemons]

Bruh. He killed Polites. No forgiveness

[@MrRaspOfficial]

@@FlamesongsLemons fr

[@randomducklover]

they didn’t know that was his favorite sheep? odysseus also gave him “the best wine in the world” which i think would be a great reason to spare them. also, as the above replies mentioned, he killed polites.

[@MrRaspOfficial]

@@randomducklover It still doesn’t matter. It would be like if someone entered your house, killed your pet and then have you some alcohol to drink it off. Even if they didn’t know, the dog is still dead.

[@argy7526]

half the cast doesnt even look like the book but now its a problem is with talia having a different accent? just say her mom is from england and got her accent from her it aint that hard adds more diversity on language (ik its just different accent but still)

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

my problem is the plot holes that this is going to create in the existing canon of the books regarding EUROPE

[@argy7526]

@@Unclaimeddemigod if they say her mom came from england then where is the plothole? nowhere in the 1st 5 books at least does it say that travel from england to america got banned its not far fetched to think that zeus or any god wouldnt have a child with someone that came from a different country

[@cabinnumber3camper997]

ANOTHER ONE

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

another one thank you

[@Deathstorm927]

I think your overthinking the Thalia accent thing too much. Its not much of a stretch for thalia's mother to be british who then moved to America and she could still keep her accent growing up because the timeline when she ran away and traveled with Luke wasnt that far from each other. And in tue main series she could still be british because she was just released from being a tree.

[@CoahuiltecanCat-vu9cd]

I think Alison could be a version of alabaster from the books

[@Unclaimeddemigod]

interesting theory

[@Perry-Johansson-zs1mu]

The thing is, sho cares if Tamara has an accent? Like people can move countries so that can be explained away like that. Also if they did a parallel thingy I'd much prefer it if Annabeth was paralled with Luke rather than some girl we don't even have in the books. Annabeth and Luke have a deep history so I'd hate it if they just paired her against with the ginger girl.

[@smitshah6384]

12:02 alr this might be a controversial take but i am not happy with the race swaps especially with Zeus and his lineage happening in the series , like i get that they are talented actors but come on man , Annabeth she is like the dream girl of any guy who has read pjo ,and we have imagined her as white and blond since a long time and i really want her, and others to be played by actors who fit the description. cause that is how we have thought of them ,also now that Zeus and Thalia both are black will Jason be black too?? i dont like it especially since ricks book already have ethnic diversity u dont need to change races. disney has been doing it a lot recently and i am not a fan of it , like Y THE HELL WAS LITLLE MERMAID BLACK, Y DOES YOUR CAST OF SNOW WHITE NOT LIKE HER BEING "FAIREST OF THEM ALL" trust me i have no problem with black (or any race ) actors or characters but the should be genuine and original. i love blackpanther and tchalla as he is a well written character. Thalia and Zeus and Athena being played by dark skinned actors , and it isnt a problem . But imagine Frank being played by an indian and not chinese or Hazel being played by a caucassian , or even the Kanes for that matter being played by east asians. u get my point

[@mailyak442]

I get what you’re saying, but I think they’ve cast like they have for a few reasons… 1. Yes there is a lot of diversity in the wider Riordanverse but not much in PJO 2. If they cast Frank as another race that would be a problem *because* his race is an important part of his character. Is being white an important part of Annabeth’s character? No 3. They’ve done ‘open casting’ which means that they choose the best person for the job *regardless* of race. So the best Annabeth just happened to be a black girl, and they cast her. Hope that makes sense 😊 (also I don’t think you should be wishing a 12yo girl actress looks like your dream girl 😭)

[@alsplaylist]

all that text just to spit out the same old racist rhetoric...we're tired

thats the weirdest arguement i have heard on the subject, there are many good arguements to be made for this subject but this definetely isnt one, its more of a rant rather than a take

No. She’s just an addition.
