Despite the fact that the production status of Aladdin 2 is in the aura of uncertainty and no information is available about it, but after the success of the first film, the Disney company wanted to collaborate again with Guy Ritchie to produce another live action called Hercules; The recreation of the animation from 1997, which received an unprecedented reception from the audience at the time.

The worrying thing is related to the Disney company itself and the reception of their recent film projects. In recent years, live-action films Mulan, Pinocchio And little mermaid Not only did they receive average reviews, but they did not succeed at the box office and did not achieve significant sales. Even in the situation that contrary to criticism, this company still insists on applying the current cultural trends of Hollywood to its projects, which we can see as a clear example of little mermaid be a witness; An issue that can be the ultimate quality of live action Hercules also overshadow

If Guy Ritchie has not withdrawn from the live-action Hercules production process, we can hope that he can change the situation for Disney and keep the audience satisfied. We have to wait and see what direction this project will take in the coming months.
