Don’t expectLogan Lermanto return to hisPercy Jacksonroots.
Lerman, 30, originally starred in the title role in 2010’sPercy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thiefand 2013’sPercy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, so it’s natural fans have wondered if he’ll make an appearance in the upcomingPercy Jackson and the Olympiansseries heading to Disney+.
“It’s an interesting question because, could you? Sure. But, I’m not. I’m not,” he toldThe Hollywood Reporter, explaining that his potential return would “just depend on certain factors, a number of things, but most importantly the quality of the script and the role.”
Lerman continued to rave about the upcoming interpretation, saying he was “curious to see” how everything pans out.
“Everything I’ve seen so far, peripherally, just about casting and how they’re doing it, and that [Percy Jacksonauthor] Rick [Riordan] is running it, just makes me happy,” he added. “It makes me happy for the fans and excited for this new generation to watch it.”
ThePercy Jacksonmovie franchise is based on authorRick Riordan’s book series of the same name. A third film following the events featured inThe Titan’s Cursenovel was supposed to occur, but Lerman confirmed in 2014 that the project was “not happening.”
