A video shared on X claims to show a clip from a live-action Hercules film.

Verdict: False

The image is from a 2022 music video featuring Lizzo and Cardi B. It does not show any live-action film from Disney.

Fact Check:

Social media users are claiming to show a clip from a live-action Hercules film from Disney. One user wrote, “If you thought that the woke Snow White was bad, meet the new muses from Disney’s live action remake of …. Hercules.”

This claim is false. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that the image is from a 2022 music video titled “Rumors.” The song is from Lizzo and features Cardi B.  (RELATED: Claim That Pam Bondi Has Petitioned The Courts To Vacate Anthony Fauci’s Pardon Is Satire)

The New York Times reported in 2022 that a live-action remake of Hercules was in the works. Screen Rant reported that there are no official cast members for the film, though the Russo Brothers are attached to the film.
