Major X-Men Star Joins Disney+’s Hit Fantasy Series in Season 3

by

Actress Dafne Keen has secured her next role, according to a recent report by The Hollywood Reporter. It’s been confirmed that Keen and Saara Chaudry have signed on for Season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” In this series, Keen will portray Artemis, the Greek deity associated with the moon and hunting, while Chaudry will take on the character of Zoë Nightshade, an immortal hunter and Artemis’ right-hand woman. Currently, filming for the third season of “Percy Jackson” is underway in Vancouver. Previously announced cast members Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie will be playing Leo and Bianca di Angelo, siblings in this production.

After appearing in the HBO series adaptation of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials”, the X-Men star, who is most famous for her roles as Laura Kinney/X-23 in films like “Logan” and “Deadpool & Wolverine”, and more recently in the Star Wars television series “The Acolyte”, is now returning to television. On the other hand, Chaudry, another actress known for projects such as “Holly Hobbie”, “The Breadwinner”, and “The Mysterious Benedict Society”, is set to take on her largest project yet with this new venture.

For your convenience,

The production of the new season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” has begun, with reports suggesting that it draws inspiration from the third book in Rick Riordan’s renowned series, titled “The Titan’s Curse.” The narrative primarily revolves around the young Greek demigod, Percy Jackson, portrayed by Walker Scobell. In addition to Scobell, the Disney+ series features Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, and Daniel Diemer. This adaptation on Disney+ represents the second attempt at adapting these books following two unsuccessful films in 2010 and 2013. Unlike those cinematic efforts, author Rick Riordan plays a significant role in the production of this series, which seems to be benefiting from his involvement.

As things currently stand, the television series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” received a 91% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics who praised it as a faithful adaptation of the popular books. The show initially debuted in 2023, with the second season set to arrive on Disney+ this coming December. Fans can look forward to fewer breaks between seasons since filming for Season 3 has already begun. For those who haven’t read the books, Artemis, as portrayed by Keen, prefers the wild outdoors over Olympus’ political intrigue and formality. According to the books, Artemis keeps her immortal hunters close by, and has limited interaction with mortals, leading her to be somewhat detached from contemporary human culture. She is depicted as noble and fearless, ready to confront significant challenges.

As a devoted cinephile, I’m eagerly anticipating the future projects of our beloved X-23 actress, after her thrilling stint in “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” Season 3. Whispers abound that she might revisit her badass role in the highly anticipated “Avengers: Doomsday”.

However, it’s important to note that these are merely rumors at this point. The actress has not officially confirmed her return yet for the upcoming blockbuster. But let’s face it, with Marvel Studios keeping their cards close to their chest, anything could happen! The full cast for “Avengers: Doomsday” hasn’t been revealed just yet, leaving us all on tenterhooks with excitement.

Beginning on December 10th, you’ll find that the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will only be streamable on Disney+. In the meantime, enthusiasts can rewatch the whole first season to refresh their memories as they eagerly await another adventure in Olympus.
