Guy Ritchie is set to direct Disney’s upcoming Hercules live-action remake from The Russo Brothers.
The Russo Brothers have been staying busy ever since they wrapped up their Marvel run with Avengers: Endgame. Their next film reunites the directing duo with Chris Evans, who stars alongside Ryan Gosling in The Grey Man, which hits Netflix this summer. The Russo Brothers are also developing a Hercules remake and according to Deadline, Disney has chosen Guy Richie to direct. Guy Ritchie previously directed Disney’s recent Aladdin remake starring Will Smith, which surpassed a billion dollars at the box office. A sequel to the 2019 film and a spin-off series are both in the works.
