Joe and Anthony Russo may be taking a break from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but they're still working with Disney on its live-action Hercules — and it sounds like the remake will see a few modern inspirations.

In an interview with Variety, the Russo brothers acknowledged criticisms of some recent Disney remakes, notably on how safe these adaptations play out with little deviation from the original films. When speaking about their vision, Joe Russo says their Hercules remake is "a little bit more experimental" in tone and execution.

The collaboration with director Guy Ritchie is also chasing the same unconventional take on a Disney musical it had in the '90s. In the Variety interview, Russo explained how modern platforms may have reshaped expectations, and how the film can find appeal with their new vision.

"Audiences today have been trained by TikTok, right?" Russo asks Variety. "What is their expectation of what that musical looks like and feels like? That can be a lot of fun and help us push the boundaries a little bit on how you execute a modern musical."

This isn't the first time we've heard about modern inspirations for the live-action Hercules, either. In July, Joe Russo said their remake will "pay homage to the original with a more modern spin on it."
