OG Megara Actress Wants Zendaya And Tom Holland For Disney's Hercules Remake

Disney fans have spent years arguing over who should lead the long-rumored live-action adaptation of *Hercules*. Now, the ultimate stamp of approval has officially arrived from Mount Olympus itself. Susan Egan, the legendary voice actress who gave life to the beloved, quick-witted heroine Megara in the 1997 animated classic, has voiced her personal dream picks for the project. While chatting on the red carpet at Disney's massive D23 event, Egan did not hold back her enthusiasm for a dynamic real-life celebrity pair. According to reports, the original star threw her full support behind Zendaya taking over her signature role as Megara, while also nominating Tom Holland to step up as the muscular demigod himself.

Who should play Megara in the Hercules live action remake?

Egan made it completely clear that Zendaya sits right at the top of her wishlist for the famously sarcastic, dark-haired character. The Broadway performer enthusiastically praised the Emmy-winning star, noting that bringing Zendaya into the Greek mythology universe is something pop culture desperately needs right now. For fans of the original animated musical, seeing Zendaya tackle Meg's classic solo track, "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)," would be an absolute dream come true. Her natural charm, sharp comedic timing, and proven singing ability make her a flawless candidate to step into the cynical heroine's shoes. Egan's glowing recommendation only confirms what internet fans have been preaching across social media for ages.

Will Zendaya and Tom Holland star in Hercules live action?

Naturally, Egan could not mention Zendaya without bringing up her frequent co-star and real-life partner, Tom Holland. Pushing for Holland to play the titular hero adds an extra layer of excitement to the pitch. The duo's undeniable on-screen chemistry has already proven to be a massive draw at the global box office, making them a studio executive's absolute dream. While Disney has yet to confirm any official casting decisions or production schedules for a live-action *Hercules* retelling, Egan's endorsement has instantly reignited excitement across the fandom. Whether or not studio brass ultimately takes the original Megara's advice remains to be seen, but the internet is already fully on board with this heroic dream team.
