Disney is finally looking at greener pastures even as the past — in a hastily updated 2.0 avatar — threatens the same.
While the studio and those connected to it are not-so-carefully braving treacherous waters, Disney is currently semi-sailing thanks to every wonderful possibility already winning it brownie points and miracles that come knocking out of nowhere.
Disney’s Hercules finds its half-god, half-human child of Zeus in Deadpool 3’s Wolverine…
… which is just a rumor based on another rumor, but we wouldn’t mind if both end up being true! Unconfirmed reports of Taron Egerton playing a Wolverine variant in the already over-crowded Deadpool 3 had barely taken off when fresh rumors of the actor being the titular character in Disney’s Hercules — that too alongside Ariana Grande as Megara — have started doing the rounds.
The Kingsman star might not have been the reigning choice for Hercules, but as nothing like “way too much of Taron Egerton” has ever existed, the Mouse is officially invited to breathe life into the speculation (unlike Tangled’s live-action Flynn Rider, who practically served himself on a silver platter).
2024 is months away but the stage is already set to repeat what preceded Halle Bailey and Brie Larson’s respective Disney and MCU debuts

Disney’s streak of 2023 disappointments continues to take a break as Elemental becomes its official miracle baby

Even now, as the film becomes available on digital mediums, people have not stopped gushing about how it is akin to sin to lump the heart-warming wonder in with the disgraced Disney servings in the last 8 months.
