While not too much is known about theHercules live-action remake, it hasn’t stopped theHerculescast rumorsfrom swirling.

Though the series only lasted one season, it has since become a quirky footnote in Goslings career.

Admittedly, theres one potential hurdle Goslings age.

However, Disneys live-action remakes often re-imagine their source material, making age less of a limitation.

Imagine Gosling as Phil, the gruff yet endearing satyr who trains Hercules.

No matter the role, his inclusion in the cast would undoubtedly elevate the film.
