Honestly, as a big fan of the books, I’m in love with this casting. Just get him some black hair dye and we’ve got our Percy Jackson right here!

[idk-man]

HE'S GOING TO DO GREAT! Seeing his recent interviews and performance in the Adam Project - I'm so happy with this casting! I'm literally already buzzing with excitement for this series to come out🤧🤩

[dylantennant]

After watching the Adam Project, this perfect casting. Honestly his snark and his emotion in that movie is amazing. Plus he can be part of a decent action scene.
I hope this series does well enough for multiple seasons, because this can be a career launcher for this kid.

[katherinemartinez]

He IS Percy Jackson! I’m so excited to see him grow

[opaquesadness]

I'm so happy! He fits Percy's character so much

[DMH-btzo]

My goodness, this kid is adorable, I can picture him being cast alongside other kids his age…

[va.memeofficial]

He's going to make the best Percy Jackson!!!! 😪😍🥺

[ademigod]

I still can't believe that there are people who think that a 27 year old person is more suitable for the character of a 12 year old boy than this 13 year old boy 🤨
He can dye his hair so his look doesn't matter but age matter because a 12 year old character is not suitable for a 27 year old person
I accept him as percy !
Welcome Walker Scobell

[yettasoukup]

I'M LITERALLY FINALLY, MY BOY WILL GET THE ADAPTATION HE

[J_Thomas]

After seeing his performance in The Adam Project I knew it wouldn't be long before he landed another role. Can't wait to see what the future holds for Walker.

[theworld_is_a_littleblurry]

I just have this feeling that he is gonna be the next timothe chalamet of Hollywood.

[natsumi]

This is crazy!!!😂😂 When I watched the Adam Project I actually thought he could be a perfect Percy Jackson

[elrica]

shame they didn't cast Charlie after his immaculate audition tape

[robynsrecs]

if I hear any death threats, slurs, harassment, or bullying against this young actor, I will club you.

[cerpiper]

After hearing the news, I instantly watched the Adam Project to see him and I already got Percy Jackson vibes from him 😆

[Not_Moose]

I am screaming, I am crying, I am so exited and happy!🥺😍❤

[keyproblems]

Penguinz0 got robbed. He was born to play 12 year old Percy Jackson

[steveisbae]

I hope the show is gonna be better then the movies

[HarryKrinkle]

So you're saying...it's NOT going to be The Guy From The Hunger Games?


He said he'd shave his beard...

[youfoundme]
