Hades' comically demonic sidekicks, Pain and Panic have also been cast in the minds of Twitter users...
I have to admit, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera would be perfect.And, of course, Lizzo just has just be on the bill.
If Disney don't cast Lizzo, then there's no point watching Hercules. https://t.co/EMQ8KmXjie— Zhidubem (@Zhidubem)1588305419.0
