Ariana Grande could be the chosen one to enchant Disney fans as the sassy and sharp Megara in Disney’s much-anticipated live-action remake of Hercules. The buzz is building thanks to insider Daniel RPK, who revealed that the “Into You” hitmaker is the top candidate for the role. If this were true, Ariana Grande could dazzle on screen with Taron Egerton, who’s in talks to play Hercules.

The “Hercules” live-action was first mentioned in 2022, set to be produced by Joe and Anthony Russo (the duo behind “Avengers: Endgame“) and directed by Guy Ritchie (known for working on the “Aladdin” live-action). As of 2024, the project seems to be going ahead but still needs a script from Guy Ritchie, and it’s said it will bring a more modern musical style.
While Disney hasn’t made any official announcement on Ariana Grande’s casting, the whispers of her possible inclusion in the film have fans all hyped up! Picture this: the singer belting out “I Won’t Say (I’m In Love)” with her powerhouse vocals— now, don’t tell us that wouldn’t sound amazing. But let’s just take these speculations with a grain of salt and treat them like unofficial rumors.
