First Look at Nico Di Angelo: Levi Chrisopulos and Walker Scobell Tease Season 3 Chemistry
The third installment of the series, adapting Rick Riordan's 2007 novel The Titan's Curse, hinges entirely on the introduction of the di Angelo siblings. When Percy, Annabeth Chase, and Thalia Grace travel to Bar Harbor, Maine, to extract two unregistered half-bloods from a military academy, they encounter an eccentric kid rattling off statistics about Greek monsters. Levi Chrisopulos captures that exact unvarnished youthfulness. His early scenes showcase a rapid-fire delivery, capturing Nico before grief and trauma rewrite his worldview.
Riordan and the showrunning team conducted an extensive global search to fill the role. The production needed an actor who could project wide-eyed innocence in the opening episodes while possessing the dramatic depth required for the devastating fallout at the end of the quest. Chrisopulos secured the role after chemistry reads with Scobell and the newly cast Bianca di Angelo, demonstrating the precise mix of vulnerability and stubbornness that defines the character's early chapters.
On social platforms like Reddit and X, initial fan reactions to the visual preview highlighted the costume department's precision. Chrisopulos sports the messy dark hair, vintage military-school slacks, and rumpled outerwear described on the page. More importantly, production leaks confirmed that the production team fabricated screen-accurate Mythomagic figurines, giving Chrisopulos physical props to obsess over during Percy's awkward attempts to keep him calm.
