‘Percy Jackson’ creators want Zendaya to join series
Leah Sava Jeffries already has a big wish for the future of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and it involves Zendaya joining the world of demigods.
After battling monsters as Annabeth in Season 1, Jeffries shared her 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 join a future season,” she told Variety, adding that she’s 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 in the show.”
Season 2 adapts The Sea of Monsters, the second book in Rick Riordan’s hit series.
This time, Percy, Annabeth and their friends set out on a mission to rescue Grover after he’s 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 guest stars 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, calling him his favourite actor.
Aryan Simhadri, who stars as Grover, mentioned that he’d love the chance to work with Willem Dafoe someday, and even Timothée Chalamet.
While there’s no confirmation of any of these A-listers entering the demigod universe just yet, the young cast’s excitement reflects how bold and wide-ranging the show’s future could be.
For now, fans can look forward to seeing how season 2 unfolds, and maybe dream along with them about Zendaya stepping into Camp Half-Blood one day.

As four kids to who grew up together, Joe detailed that he experienced a cultural shock in raising the girls, “Boys are so different than girls. I’ll watch my kids on the playground and it’s, like, delicate. And then this kid will be like, ‘Ahh!’ And dive off the top of the slide. And you’re just like, ‘That is a boy,’” he said.
The Camp Rock alum credited their “superstar” mom for raising the boys, saying, “She was the boss, you know…Growing up, we needed a loud voice like her to be able to control us and also make sure that we weren’t, like, pieces of s—t.”

King Charles’ Easter silence raises worries about his health
King Charles has opted not to deliver an Easter message this year that has left at least one senior church figure openly dismayed and questioning whether the Palace has misread the national sentiment.
Bishop Ceirion H Dewar describing himself as “bitterly disappointed” and warning the monarch that the decision risks falling out of step with public expectations.
While Buckingham Palace clarified that an Easter broadcast is not a fixed royal tradition in the way the Christmas address is, the bishop argued that the King has, in recent years, created his own precedent by marking the occasion.
Speaking candidly, the bishop suggested the absence of a message would leave many feeling overlooked, especially given the King’s title as Defender of the Faith.
He went further, claiming the choice could deepen concerns already circulating among Christians across the Commonwealth.
This latest criticism follows a letter Dewar sent directly to the Palace later made public in which he raised worries about how Christianity is represented in royal messaging.
That letter has since gathered thousands of signatures, turning a personal appeal into a growing campaign.
Some observers reading the unusual royal silence as a sign of possible strain.
Traditionally, the monarch has marked major Christian holidays with a public message, but this year Buckingham Palace confirmed no Easter address will be released.
Royal watchers worry that the break in tradition could hint at personal or health-related pressures weighing on His Majesty.
