When they were released, Percy Jackson’s films were very successful, precisely because the audiovisual adaptation had been highly anticipated due to the many existing books. There were two films in total: The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters. But the characters, the clothes and, of course, the story, cause nostalgia – so many, that only the movies were not enough. Therefore, another production about the “Percyverse” was made: the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, in which Disney+ holds the copyright.
Thinking about the nostalgia of so many characters, the awesome.club decided to bring you the actors of these productions, after more than ten years of the release of the first film.
Steve Coogan
Actor, playwright, writer and comedian Steve Coogan also participated in the Percy Jackson saga as his enemy, Hades. The role was a standout on screen, mainly for his characterization, which left him virtually unrecognizable. In addition to the big screen, he is also dedicated to the theater stage and tours with his stand up comedy shows in England and Ireland.
Rosario Dawson
The actress played Persephones, the wife of Hades who pursued Percy Jackson. Her character tried to soften the persecution in the plot: “Husband, we talked about this. You can’t chase every hero,” but it didn’t have much effect. Rosario is also working on a project called DMZ, a series based on DC comics. Not cool?
Kevin McKidd
Although in the plot the actor plays nothing less than Poseidon, Percy’s father, his appearances are not as highlighted, and there were few takes in which Kevin actually appeared. But he has already participated in many successful projects, such as in the film Transpotting: Without Limits, in the Anna Karenina series and as the doctor Owen in Grey’s anatomy. Only iconic characters, no?
Alexandra Daddario
Annebeth Chase was the name given to the character who was the daughter of Athena and a human. Played by Alexandra Daddario, this character was very successful, mainly for always helping Percy in his troubles. After the trilogy, the actress had prominent roles in films such as The San Andreas Fault, Baywatch and When We First Met. In addition, she has already participated in the music video for “Radioactive”, a famous song by the band Imagine Dragons.
Sean Bean
Interpreting Zeus in Percy Jackson, Sean Bean showed that fantasy films are really his forte, since most of the highlights of his career come from films like The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. In addition, he is part of the Expresso do Amanhã series. And he’s also won an Emmy, which isn’t for everyone, right?
Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman is an actress renowned for several works such as: Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction, but in Percy Jackson she played a very different role from the ones she is used to: she acted as Medusa, faced by the protagonist in a fight. In the suspense/drama series Suspicion, the actress has a prominent role that is worth checking out. Extremely talented, she has won important awards in her career, such as a Golden Globe, for example.
Brandon T Jackson
In the film, Brandon plays a satyr who is close friends with Percy before he discovers his powers. Later, he reveals that he is there to protect the protagonist and that this is his life mission. After the film, the actor participated in several projects, one of which was the comedy Vovó… Zona 3: Tal Pai, Tal Filho. And, in addition, he has already done work as a voice actor. One of the best known out in the children’s plot The Smurfs 2.
Pierce Brosnan
Pierce Brosnan acted in many successful films, the best known of which is the character James Bond, in 007. In Percy Jackson, his character was Chiron, a centaur, director of Camp Half-Blood. He was very close to Annebeth and Percy, for whom he had great faith and even played a father role. His performance in A Filha do Rei is also a standout role.
Jake Abel
Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, is Percy Jackson’s main antagonist and also one of the most anticipated characters in the series, previously portrayed by Jake Abel. The actor also works on other projects, and his character Derek Mitchell in the movie Maligno is a great example to see him play other characters. He also has a YouTube channel, on which he is dedicated to cooking and other miscellaneous subjects.
Logan Lermann
In 2022, the actor who played Percy Jackson turned 30. But, at the time of the film, he was only eighteen! However, even though he is young, he already has twenty years of career, having played important characters throughout his life. Among them are: Charlie in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Evan as a child in The Butterfly Effect and Jonah Heidelbaum in Hunters, in which he acted alongside big names like Al Pacino. About the series, said: “Looking forward to seeing this! I hope it gets the adaptation the books deserve.”
