the impending Great Prophecy<\/a> provided by the Oracle of Delphi, dictating the fate of Olympus,” reads the official Season 3 logline. “As foretold by the Oracle of Delphi, one demigod child of the ‘Big Three’ is fated to raise Olympus to new heights or bring it crashing into ruin, with their own life hanging in the balance.”<\/p>\nThough Scobell is the only actor from the show making an appearance at New York Comic Con, the series’ full cast includes\u00a0Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth,\u00a0Aryan Simhadri as Grover, Charlie Bushnell as Luke, Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse, Daniel Diemer as Tyson, and Tamara Smart as Thalia.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all, folks!<\/p>\n
The panel has ended and everyone is filing out of the auditorium. Naturally, “A Star is Born” from “Hercules” is playing because (1) Percy’s a demigod like Hercules, and (2) Disney!<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell plays favorites<\/p>\n
Which demigods would Walker Scobell bring with him to a deserted island for one week, a fan asks? “I would pick Magnus Chase, because he’s such a chill dude,” Scobell says. “Probably… I really want to give the right answer. Probably Grover or Annabeth. No, Tyson!” (The audience loves Tyson as an answer.)<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell vs. the internet<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell on how he deals the noise from social media: “You just can’t let it distract you at all. You can’t think about it. Every day I act, I hope I get a little bit better.” He admits that he occasionally sees comments about his performance that make him second-guess himself, and hopefully improve.”Sometimes it’s true,” he says.<\/p>\n
Practical effects vs. CGI<\/p>\n
A fan asks Walker Scobell if he had to choose one monster from the show to do practically, vs. with CGI, which would it be?<\/p>\n
“Maybe Charybdis?” he says, knowing it would be incredibly difficult to pull off.<\/p>\n
Audience questions begin\u2026<\/p>\n
It’s time for audience questions!<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell is asked what it’s like to play a character with a disability. “I think just making it part of his character \u2014 it’s always there, but it’s not totally his character. It’s obviously part of him, but he’s a real person on top of all that.”<\/p>\n
Holy growth spurt!<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the cast’s growth, Walker Scobell jokes that\u00a0Aryan Simhadri (aka Grover) “went through all of puberty between Seasons 1 and 2.”<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell, director?<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell still hopes to get into the director’s chair at some point. “Maybe after this,” he says, adding that his time is split between shooting “Percy Jackson” and going to school. He says he can’t imagine directing an episode of the show, though, because he wouldn’t want to direct himself.<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell on working with guest star Kate McKinnon in Season 3<\/p>\n
“There was never a take where she did the same thing, and there was never a take where it wasn’t funny,” Walker Scobell admits.<\/p>\n
Percy Jackson Season 3 release schedule<\/p>\n
Instead of one episode per week, Disney+ will be dropping Season 3 in pairs over four weeks.<\/p>\n
Percy and Annabeth hit the dance floor<\/p>\n
On the romance front, how would Walker Scobell rate Percy’s game? “It’s not like he doesn’t have any! … I think it really depends how on the situation.”<\/p>\n
(The panel then screens a clip from the premiere of Percy and Annabeth arriving at a dance. It includes a first look at some of the di Angelos. Percy and Annabeth need to blend in, so they hit the dance floor… and it’s a slow one. They may be on a mission, but they’re clearly enjoying themselves.)<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell will miss Tyson in Season 3, but\u2026<\/p>\n
Daniel Diemer won’t be back as Tyson in Season 3, but Walker Scobell is thrilled to see the actor in the next season of “Heated Rivalry.” (“He’s busy playing a lot of hockey.”)<\/p>\n
In all seriousness, Scobell says, “I am probably the most excited person in this room” for him.<\/p>\n
Percy vs. Thalia?<\/p>\n
We do something a little different than in the books,” Walker Scobell teases. “We find Thalia in a different place. Percy and her aren’t really working together.”<\/p>\n
Fresh faces<\/p>\n
“All of them live up to their expectations,” Walker Scobell says of long-awaited characters like Zoe Nightshade and the di Angelos, all of whom are being introduced in Season 3.<\/p>\n
Season 3 is the \u2018scariest\u2019 yet for Walker Scobell<\/p>\n
“This is the scariest season to go into … because it’s never been done before,” Walker Scobell says. (Season 3 tackles “The Titan’s Curse,” which was never adapted into a movie.)<\/p>\n
No rewatch for Walker Scobell\u2026 yet!<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell says he hasn’t gone back and revisited “baby Walker” in the show’s first season. He says he’ll wait until the show is over to rewatch it all, “if we get Seasons 4 and 5.” (Big audience applause at the idea of more seasons!)<\/p>\n
The demigod of the hour<\/p>\n

Walker Scobell hits the road<\/p>\n
The audience cheers for Walker Scobell for just getting his driver’s license… after two tries. “The best drivers need to take it twice,” he assures us.<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell\u2026 future Avenger?<\/p>\n
Walker Scobell recalls why he became an actor: “I really wanted to be an Avenger, and I guess this is the closest thing I can think of to being an Avenger.”<\/p>\n
A fan in the audience replies, “There’s still time!” \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n
Baby\u2019s first NYCC<\/p>\n
“Thank you guys for coming this is awesome,” Walker Scobell says as he takes the stage. (This is his first New York Comic Con, can you believe it?)<\/p>\n
A first look at Percy Jackson Season 3<\/p>\n
The panel begins with a first look at “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” Season 3 (which we were told \u2014 repeatedly \u2014 not to record).<\/p>\n
We also got behind-the-scenes moments with the cast reacting the overwhelming response the show has received from its fans around the world.<\/p>\n
A Comic Con etiquette lesson<\/p>\n
The warm-up host is reminding the audience to be respectful with their questions for Walker Scobell: “You don’t want to go viral for the wrong reason.”<\/p>\n
The stage is set!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the final countdown!<\/p>\n
