The clip begins with a younger Percy, who is at a museum with his mother when he states: "Perseus, that's me."
When asked if he was named after Perseus because he was a hero, his mother replies: "Because he was brave and kind and, against all odds, he managed to find his way to a happy ending."
The trailer shows a closer look at Aryan Simhadri and Leah Sava Jeffries as Grover Underwood and Annabeth Chase respectively, as well as Lin-Manuel Miranda as Hermes and Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians marks the first time fans will see the character since the 2013 film Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, which starred Logan Lerman in the titular role.
