Today, a report announced that Ming-Na Wen, Jennifer Beals, and Hubert Smielecki have all joined the cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3. Ming-Na is best known for her roles in the original Mulan, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Mandalorian, and last year’s Karate Kid: Legends. She is set to guest-star as the goddess Hera, Zeus’s wife. She is described as “queen of Olympus, and wife to Zeus. She is the goddess of marriage and family, so the infidelity of Zeus (Courtney B. Vance) rankles her. Regal, maternal, and no-nonsense, Hera is the only god besides Zeus who has children who are also members of the Olympian council, which gives her leverage in the family politics.” Beals will guest-star as the goddess Demeter, the sister of Zeus and Poseidon. She will stop at nothing to keep her father, Kronos, from returning. Finally, Smielecki will guest-star as the sun god Apollo. Apollo is “the dazzling and charismatic god of the sun as well as music, poetry, archery, and prophecy. The literal golden boy of Olympus and twin brother to the goddess Artemis, the moon to his sun.” Production on season 3 has been underway since last August, back in Vancouver.
