Disney+ Percy Jackson reveals a new set photo showing what Camp Half-Blood’s armor and costumes look like.
The upcoming TV series adaptation is based on Rick Riordan’s popular novel, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It follows three best friends, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, as they battle demigods and monsters and prove themselves worthy as children of the gods.
The novel has been adapted into two films, The Lightning Thief (2010) and sea of monsters (2013), with Logan Lerman as the main character. In May 2020, Disney+ announced the reboot, and production began in June this year.
Longtime fans are aware of the controversy surrounding the movie versions. This time, Riordan himself will be involved in the creative process. With constant updates from the author via his blog, fans are getting more and more excited about the series.
Percy Jackson Camp Half-Blood Armor Spotted
In a recent post to Twitter by @hotyturnera still image of two Percy Jackson extras were spotted in Vancouver wearing the iconic Camp Half-Blood orange shirt under brass armor. This is the characteristic look of players participating in the Capture the Flag tournament.
Capture the Flag is a game of strength, agility and quick thinking. Players will compete until one of them captures the opposing team’s flag. This game was crucial for Percy as he proves to others that he is the son of Poseidon.
There’s a strong resemblance between the new armor and the one used in the movies, but the orange T-shirts are definitely not seen in the movies. It’s proof that the TV adaptation strives to stay true to the source material.
Riordan recently made an update on his blog regarding the release date of the series, and he estimated that it will most likely air in 2024.
