Adam Copeland as Clarisse La Rue’s father, Ares, the God of War. We also have Timothy Omundson as God of the Forge, Hephaestus. We know that Hades isn’t an Olympian, but he could have been if Zeus had allowed it. Round out the Olympians (currently) we have Jay Duplass, who will play Hades, the third of the Big Three. This will come in handy when parts of Luke’s backstory come into play. This will allow the audience to have a better understanding of the characters. However, Rick has said in the past that new elements will be added for storytelling purposes in the series that never existed in the books. The character doesn’t appear in the books until Sea of Monsters. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hermes is an exception to this rule. So, depending on whether the series is renewed for two more seasons, we won’t likely see Athena until either Season 2 or Season 4. Likewise, the Goddess of Wisdom appears in a vision in book two, Sea of Monsters but doesn’t make her first actual appearance until book four, The Titan’s Curse. So, one example we can use is Annabeth’s mother, Athena. Rick has said that Season 2 hasn’t been greenlit yet, but he has his fingers crossed that it will be. Actors will be cast in the roles only when the characters appear in the respective book, which is a book per season. The Other Godsĭon’t expect to see the entire Olympian council of gods in the first season. Toby and Lance were announced last due to Zeus and Poseidon appearing much later in the story. Moreover, it seems natural that he is the King of the Gods. Rick mentioned in his website post that Lance portrayed characters with power in every role he played. He has also been in Law & Order and The Wire. Lance is known for his role as Charon in the John Wick films. So perhaps it was fate that Toby was cast as Percy’s dad. Another fun fact! Minerva is the Roman name for Athena, Poseidon’s niece and rival, one of Zeus’ daughters and Annabeth’s mother. She’s also well known for playing Dowager Countess Violet Crawley in Downton Abbey. His mum is Dame Maggie Smith, probably best known for her role as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter films. While Toby’s name might not be recognisable to most people, his mother is someone most people may be familiar with. Rick Riordan wrote on his website that Lance Reddick is playing Zeus, and Toby Stephens will play Percy’s father, Poseidon. You cannot have The Lightning Thief without Zeus and Poseidon waging war on each other due to the master bolt being stolen. Zeus And Poseidon Join The Council Of The Gods Let’s jump into the council of the gods first.
