Is Edge Playing Percy Jackson? What Is WWE Hall of Famer’s Role in Upcoming Disney+ Show?

The latest teaser/trailer for The Percy Jackson and the Olympians just dropped, and it’s the talk of the town right now. The 30-second clip included glimpses that the older Percy Jackson fans will love. But WWE fans are in for a treat too.

The teaser included the famous Empire State Building elevator to Mount Olympus. The infamous Minotaur and Medusa were also seen. But what stood out for everyone was the appearance of Adam Copeland, aka WWE Hall of Famer Edge. But the question is, what character is the WWE superstar playing in the recent adaptation?

Edge’s to play God in his Disney debut

Adam “Edge” Copeland will be making his Disney+ debut with the latest adaptation of The Percy Jackson and the Olympians. He will be playing the role of the God of War, Ares. And it looks promising!

Here, Edge can be seen wielding Ares’s signature sword and the leather trench coat from the books. Copeland had already teased his debut on Twitter back in October 2022.

With that tough look on his face and a sturdy build, he perfectly matches the persona of The God of War, who is all about conflict. Although, his part may not be just about fighting, as he might play a pivotal role in the story.
