I’m having a complicated reaction to this.
Of director [Guy] Ritchie, [producer] Joe [Russo] said, “Guy is perfect for it because he has penchant for experimentation.” He went on to add that the live-action “Hercules” will also be a musical — and share the original’s unconventional approach…
It’s like Disney keeps trying to get me, specifically, to watch their live-action remakes. Like I’m a holdout, or something. They almost got me with the live-action MULAN, but the slave labor was just a bridge too far. But this – I dunno. Even when Guy doesn’t click, his stuff is still fun to watch.
If you haven’t already seen, queue up the criminally under-promoted version with The Rock and Ian McShane.
Much better than expected and I never even knew it existed until I saw it on cable.
Other sources say it will be modeled on Tik Tok entertainment formats.

So, your mileage may vary.
TikTok = 0 mileage for me
