He then describes some of Hercules Characteristics, "He's a mercenary who's lost his faith. He doesn't believe in gods or legends, just in spreading his own legend. But what makes a man strong is his willingness to get better." He then added, "That, and an ability to down a fifth of tequila in one night!" So do you think this movie would be a 2014 blockbuster, or do you think it will turn out like kellan lutz's Hercules film.

I'm at a secret screening on Tues 15th July, it can either be Guardians of the Galaxy, Rise of the planet of the apes or this. I'm hoping its any of those but this. Although I'd probably stay seeing as though it's free!

So, this Hercules doesn't believe in gods? I wonder what he considers his father then.
