"James is a terrific person and is also an incredibly talented director who recently directed the pilot for Disney Plus’ Mysterious Benedict Society which I loved," he said.

"James knows the Percy Jackson books well. His kids are fans so we’re in great hands. Thanks to all of you for your excitement about this series, it’s gonna be great."
