In a conversation with Variety, Joe revealed the new 'Hercules' movie will be a musical with an unconventional twist as it will be inspired by Tiktok. He said, "Audiences today have been trained by TikTok, right? What is their expectation of what that musical looks like and feels like? That can be a lot of fun and help us push the boundaries a little bit on how you execute a modern musical.” 

After this news broke on the internet, fans are happy with the news of the live-adaption of the classic animated Disney movie but are doubtful of the Tiktok factor. A fan said, "Naw. Gospel or bust. Don't change the music, don't make it too modern with the tik tok trends. I just want a simple Hercules that has some jams and makes me laugh," while another added, "hercules is my favorite film of all time I can’t watch this happen."

A fan wrote, "God I am so ready, I LOVE the original Hercules and I have no idea what inspired by TikTok could possibly mean unless it's just going to be Hercules gaining fame through the ancient Grecian version of the app? Can't wait to find out even if it is a wreck." A fan questioned, "I have no problem with Hercules being a musical the original was but inspired by TikTok?" Lastly, a fan tweeted, "I LOVE HERCULES WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!!!"

Although the Russo brother has not revealed who they think might be cast in the live-action, it is least to say fans are excited yet doubtful. However, there is a piece of sad news for all Marvel fans. “We won’t be ready to do anything with Marvel until the end of the decade,” Joe said.
