Ariana Grande Is ’Flattered’ Fans Want Her To Play Meg In Disney’s Live-Action 'Hercules,' But We Love Her Pick Even More

Ariana Grande is receiving plenty of praise for her astounding performance as Glinda in "Wicked," and it’s well deserved. While known for her singing talents, Grande showed off her serious acting chops for the musical film, and was a 2025 Golden Globe nominee this year. Now, fans are hoping the "Positions" artist joins another upcoming musical, "Hercules" as Meg. While Grande is "flattered" over that, she has her own idea for who should play the role, and we love that pick even more! In a recent interview with Variety's Awards Circuit podcast, Grande chatted about her big year which not only included "Wicked" but also the release of her new album, "Eternal Sunshine." It was also mentioned that her name had been mentioned in tandem with the upcoming "Hercules" live-action remake, especially after her Actors on Actors segment with Paul Mescal. When asked if she would be interested in playing Megara, the sarcastic, anti-romantic heroine of the film, Grande named a friend and past co-star as a better fit.
