Like most of Disney’s animated classics from the ’90s and early 2000s, Hercules, was a musical, and one with several songs that stuck with viewers years after not having seen the film. Notable mentions include “Zero to Hero,” “One Last Hope,” and “Gospel Truth.”

While these songs have become fan favorites, the Russos want to put a personal spin on Hercules, and as such, they don’t even know if the movie will be a musical like the original. However, they did say that music would certainly be a part of the film — though, it’s hard to imagine what they mean by this. It doesn’t seem like they’re talking about typical background tracks as it’s fairly standard for movies to have them.
Once Disney began to dip into its library for live action adaptations, the approach has never been universal. Some films, like Beauty and the Beast, preserved the music of their animated inspiration, while others, like the upcoming Mulan, decided to ditch the singing altogether.
Either way, it’ll be interesting to see which option the brothers go with. The duo has stated that their big fans of the animated Hercules and one thing about that version that made it stand out amongst its Disney counterparts was its choir-like music.
The live-action Hercules adaptation doesn’t have a release date.
