Ever since the new Percy Jackson TV adaptation was announced in 2020, the fans of the beloved book series have been just dying to see Logan Lerman back for the new series and play the role of Poseidon, Percy’s father.
And finally, after a couple of years, Logan, who starred as the titular character in the original films, has finally had his say on the matter.
Logan Lerman talks about the new Percy Jackson TV Series and Poseidon.
Speaking to Esquire, Logan Lerman said, “I get people asking me all the time if I’m gonna play Poseidon, and I’m like, ‘Am I old enough to play Poseidon? I don’t think I’m old enough for that one! I wouldn’t cast me in that role if I was part of the creative team. I don’t know, these are all hypotheticals, so I have no idea.”
Logan also further revealed that no one has contacted him to star in the show in any capacity yet and that he is not sure that he finds it enticing enough for him to star in it either.

He added, “I also just don’t even know if it’s interesting to me, in terms of: I don’t even know what that would be. But there’s not a secret that’s waiting to be announced or something like that. I do get asked a lot about it, and I hate to disappoint and be like, ‘No, I don’t know anything, and I’m not involved,’ but that’s the truth.”
