As Percy Jackson & the Olympians gears up for season 2, star Walker Scobell has teased what may be the most intense episode yet. The Disney+ adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved YA book series will tackle The Sea of Monsters, and one of its most action-packed moments will take place in episode 4.
Major Battle Scene Confirmed for Season 2, Episode 4
During an interview with Den of Geek at SCAD TVfest, Walker Scobell revealed that episode 4 will include the Scylla and Charybdis battle, a pivotal moment from The Sea of Monsters. He described the episode as the biggest installment yet, even saying:
“It’s its own movie, to be honest.”
He also revealed that the cast read the script together for the first time, experiencing the intensity of the episode in real time.
What to Expect from Percy Jackson Season 2’s Biggest Episode
In The Sea of Monsters, Percy, Annabeth, and their friends must sail past the deadly mythological creatures Scylla and Charybdis. The battle against these massive sea monsters is a key moment in the book, and translating it to the screen will require top-tier special effects and action choreography.
- Scylla & Charybdis – Legendary creatures guarding the entrance to the Sea of Monsters.
- Epic ocean battle – Expect CGI-heavy sequences showcasing the massive creatures.
- High production value – The show is going bigger in season 2, similar to how fantasy shows expand with each season.
- Mid-season climax – Since season 2 is expected to have eight episodes, this moment marks a major turning point in the story.
How This Compares to Season 1’s Biggest Battles
So far, Percy Jackson’s most intense fight was arguably in season 1, episode 4, where Percy faced the Chimera atop the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The season 1 finale also featured a showdown with Ares (Adam Copeland), but Scobell suggests that the Scylla and Charybdis battle will be on an even grander scale.
| Battle Scene | Season | Episode | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chimera Fight (Gateway Arch) | 1 | Episode 4 | Percy’s first major solo battle |
| Percy vs. Ares | 1 | Episode 8 | Climactic duel of season 1 |
| Scylla & Charybdis Battle | 2 | Episode 4 | Season 2’s biggest action set-piece yet |
Why Season 2 Has Huge Potential
While season 1 made some changes to the book, it largely stayed true to the plot of The Lightning Thief. With season 2 now adapting The Sea of Monsters, fans are eager to see how much remains faithful to the source material.
Why This Is Exciting:
- More action & higher stakes – The battles are bigger and more ambitious.
- Bigger budget, better effects – Disney+ is investing more into production quality.
- Faithfulness to the books – The inclusion of Scylla & Charybdis suggests the series is sticking close to the novel.
If Percy Jackson & the Olympians can pull off this massive sequence, the show could become one of the strongest fantasy series on television.
