Disney’s 1997 animated hit movie, Hercules is currently in the development with the Avengers’ producers, Joe and Anthony Russo.
Hercules is no different from the other Disney movies which have already fabricated into live-action remakes.
Hercules’s remake would be the latest Disney adaption, next to Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Jungle Book, Aladdin, The Lion King, and Mulan among others.
The Russo brothers who have also directed Captain America and other films of Marvel are reported to produce the screenplay. The remake is expected to have lots of action-packed scenes as well as musicals since the classic Hercules was full of them.
What is the story of Disney’s Hercules
The Disney movie portrayed Hercules as a young demi-god who lived among the mortals. As a baby, he was snatched by Hades, the god of the underworld. In the initial plot, Hercules thought he was a mortal until he discovered that he is a son of Zeus.

Moreover, Hercules had found himself to sacrifice for his one true love, Meg. Additionally, Hercules was not only rescuing Meg, but he realised that the world needs a saviour like him. In the end, Hercules gained the recognition to enter the world of the gods.

The classic songs were written by Alan Menken. It’s too early to tell if Disney has already worked on new songs for the movie. Moreover, Disney has yet to confirm if the original songs will be reused. Viewers will have to wait for more updates.
