‘Fire Island’ hunk Zane Phillips is down to play Hercules, so what’s the hold-up, Disney?
Fire Island has brought a lot of attention to its dreamy queer stars, a cast of crush-worthy actors including Joel Kim Booster, Bowen Yang, and Matt Rogers (to name a few).
Among them is the hunky Phillips—best known for The Vampire Diaries spin-off, Legacies—who’s making the most of the limelight, and throwing his name in the ring for a splashy new role: Hercules.To paraphrase the great Mo’nique: We would like to see it!A quick trigger warning to those who may be upset by the acknowledgment of the passage of time, but today marks the 25th anniversary of the Disney Animation classic, Hercules, a colorful, musical spin on the story of the titular demigod.
To celebrate the occasion, the pop culture news account @BuzzingPop tweeted some throwback photos and posed the question: “Who would you like to see star in the live-action adaptation?”In a delightful move that has Fire Island fans freaking out, Phillips quote-tweeted the Hercules commemoration with four simple words: “Ok fine I volunteer.”Ok fine I volunteer https://t.co/ncCjeTRxIy— Zane Phillips (@zanityfair) June 13, 2022Disney, are you listening?
With that muscular physique, the sparkling blue eyes, and those comedy chops, we have no doubt Phillips is capable of going the distance.
