Y'all look at the kid they cast for the new Percy Jackson reboot

a picture of Walker Scobell, taken when Rick Riordan told him he got the role of Percy Jackson. His mouth and eyes are wide open with disbelief, he's wearing the iconic orange camp halfblood t-shirt. his parents are in the background on either side of him, smiling.

Look at him in his little camp half-blood shirt 🥺 according to Rick Riordan he even got a yankees baseball cap to resemble Annabeth's cap

For those of you who haven't watched the Adam Project, Walker (this kid) played a younger Ryan Reynolds. They cast him for his sense of humor and great use of sarcasm, and because he apparently remembers the Deadpool script word for word. All they gotta do is dye his hair darker and that's a Percy right there. Walker is currently also 13, which means this adaptation will be faithful to the books.

I'm still secretly hoping they cast Logan Lerman as Poseidon, or maybe even as Paul. I just wanna see my white boy of the month shine again 🥹
