According to Variety, Kate McKinnon has been officially cast as Aphrodite in Season 3 of Percy Jackson. The show is about to air its second season, but is expected to have at least one season for every book in the franchise. Kate McKinnon is an accomplished comedy actress most known for his time on Saturday Night Live. While there’s little to no chance she won’t include some of her own comedy, she is most likely taking the show very seriously.
However, there is one thing about her character that has fans slightly concerned. In the books, Aphrodite regularly changes her appearance. This either means that the deity will likely be played by multiple actors or include the use of pervasive use of CGI. Either way, with Rick Riordan being a consultant on the show, there’s no way the show’s version of the character will completely deviate from his vision.
The fact that the show has already announced its cast for the next season before the current season has even been released indicates an incredible amount of faith in the project. It proves that the show expects the reviews to be positive enough to continue the show well into the remaining seasons. However, there is still a chance the show could flop before the audience even gets to see Kate McKinnon on screen.
Kate McKinnon’s cast announcement marks an unfortunate trend within the movie and film industry. Many projects have begun announcing key new aspects of their titles in an attempt to draw eyes to the franchise. Normally, this results in getting a famous actor to partake in a specific role just to drum up fans. This can sometimes result in a casting choice that might not fit the original character, but the studio decides to do so based on the actor’s overall popularity.
In the end, Kate McKinnon’s new role is great for the franchise. She is likely to do a fantastic job, but her casting announcement comes as a slight surprise. The fact that they are announcing the Season 3 cast before Season 2 even debuts is somewhat controversial. However, with Disney funding and the support from Rick Riordan, the move will ultimately lead to even more success for the popular television adaptation.
