Percy Jackson and the Olympians
According to Variety, Jay Duplass and Timothy Omundsen have joined the cast of the Percy Jackson series as Hades and Hephaestus, respectively. Per the official character descriptions, Duplass’s Hades “feels like an outcast from his family” and “holds a grudge for past wrongs” while Omundson’s Hephaestus, “became disabled when he was thrown off Mount Olympus as a babe. Despite that, his strength is legendary, and his capacity for kindness and mercy sets him apart from his brothers and sisters in the dog-eat-dog world of the gods.”
