We all remember the original Hercules movie from 1997. With memorable characters like Hercules himself, the indomitable Meg, and, of course, the gospel-singing chorus of "the Muses," this film is definitely one of Disney's best animated musicals. Plus, you may have also seen the sequel, Hercules II: Zero to Hero, which was released direct to video in 1999.

What you may not have realized is that there was actually a different Hercules sequel planned, Hercules II: The Trojan War. According to Screen Rant, the project was actually canceled before the proposal for the movie was even finished. Apparently, the film was to premiere after the animated series, which ran from 1998 to 1999. The plot of the Disney movie sequel, which was set after the events of the first movie, featured Meg and Hercules living together with a daughter and would see Hercules going on a journey to save a kidnapped friend.

Even though we never got to see this particular Hercules sequel, it sounds like we might be getting to return to the mythological Greek universe after all. As The Hollywood Reporter revealed in 2020, there are plans in the works for a live-action sequel some time in the future!
