Leah Sava Jeffries already has a big wish for the future Percy Jackson and the Olympiansand it involves Zendaya joining the world of demigods.
After battling monsters as Annabeth in Season 1, Jeffries shared his dream casting while attending the Season 2 World Premiere in Los Angeles.
“I don’t know who I would cast her as, but I would love for Zendaya to come on a future season,” she shared Blackadding that she has been a fan of all of Zendaya’s projects.
She said Zendaya could take on the role of a demigod or “anyone else who hasn’t been cast on the show.”
Season 2 adapts Sea of Monstersthe second book in Rick Riordan’s hit series.
This time, Percy, Annabeth and their friends embark on a mission to rescue Grover after he is captured by the Cyclops Polyphemus, all while trying to save Camp Half-Blood from danger.
With the core trio back in action, the new season also brings in fresh faces. Kate McKinnon, Dafne Keen and Saara Chaudry are confirmed to guest star as the story expands into new mythological territory.
Jeffries isn’t the only cast member with big ideas about future dream co-stars.
Charlie Bushnell, who plays Luke, said he would love to see Cillian Murphy join the series and called him his favorite actor.
Aryan Simhadri, who stars as Grover, mentioned that he would love the chance to work with Willem Dafoe one day, and even Timothée Chalamet.
While there’s no confirmation that any of these A-listers have entered the demigod universe just yet, the young cast’s excitement reflects just how bold and far-reaching the show’s future could be.
For now, fans can look forward to seeing how Season 2 unfolds, and perhaps dream along with them that Zendaya will one day enter Camp Half-Blood.
