‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians' Charts a Seafaring Course for Season 2

Gizmodo24-07-2025
It was no surprise when Percy Jackson and the Olympians was renewed for a second season in early 2024—the Disney+ series was a hit when it premiered back in 2023, building on the popularity of Rick Riordan's fantasy-adventure novel series. Then—earlier this year, before season two even arrived—it was renewed for a third installment. That's a huge boost of confidence for all involved, and the excitement came through in the show's San Diego Comic-Con panel, held in the cavernous Hall H.

— Percy Jackson (@PercySeries) July 24, 2025Here's Disney's description of season two: 'Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy's journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.'
That makes sense, since season two arrives in December 10, and will adapt The Sea of Monsters, the second book in Riordan's series.
On hand for the panel were the stars of the show (Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, and Daniel Diemer), plus executive producers Jon Steinberg, Craig Silverstein, and Dan Shotz.

Fantastic Four 2 Update Reveals Likely Director for MCU Sequel

A new report from Jeff Sneider of The InSneider suggests that Disney has likely already found the director for The Fantastic Four 2, and has high hopes for the sequel. Who is potentially directing The Fantastic Four 2? According to Sneider, Matt Shakman — the director of the first film and the MCU miniseries WandaVision — is 'likely' to return to direct a sequel. As for the film's box office, Sneider mentions that, although the film hasn't been performed incredibly, Marvel execs believe the sequel will perform better after The Fantastic Four are shown off more in the next two Avengers movies, Avengers: Doomsday and Avenges: Secret Wars. Sneider's report comes after Disney CEO Bob Iger also praised The Fantastic Four: First Steps, saying the movie 'successfully launched' an important franchise into the MCU, even if it didn't make the same amount of money a project like Avengers might. In its second weekend, The Fantastic Four: First Steps took a 66% drop, a surprisingly high mark for a film that is praised by both critics and audiences. Following its latest drop, it's likely First Steps will come in under Superman, the DCU film that launched a week prior. 'Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel's First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet,' the official synopsis for the movie reads. Kevin Feige serves as a producer on the project, while executive producers include Louis D'Esposito, Grant Curtis, and Tim Lewis. Mitch Bell is a co-producer, while the music comes from Michael Giacchino. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released in United States theaters on July 25, 2025. It has been confirmed that Pascal, Kirby, Quinn, and Moss-Bachrach will all return for Avengers: Doomsday, which arrives in December 2026. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is available in theaters now. Solve the daily Crossword

‘Hamilton' to screen in theaters next month for 10th anniversary

Disney is not throwing away its shot to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hamilton's off-Broadway debut at New York's Public Theater. The studio is releasing the filmed version of the Tony- and Emmy Award-winning musical into theaters for the first time, accompanied by "an exclusive prologue" titled "Reuniting the Revolution," a cast reunion featuring new interviews with the cast and creators. The expanded version of the filmed Hamilton will open in U.S. theaters on Sept. 5. It will also play internationally—in the UK and Ireland on Sept. 26, and in Australia and New Zealand on Nov. 13.

Hamilton was originally set to open in theaters in Oct. 2021, but the release was moved up to July 2020—at the height of COVID—making it an early streaming winner for Disney+. The film would then go onto a host of Emmy nominations (12 in all, winning two) and a nomination for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes the following year. Fans in New York will also get an opportunity to attend an early premiere screening at the Delacorte Theater. Advanced ticket sales (which benefit the Public Theater) begin on Aug. 11. There will also be an in-person lottery, as well as a stand-by line in Central Park.
