Logan Lerman has spoken out about the comparisons between his movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and Harry Potter.
The movie follows a teenager who discovers he's the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods
Chris Columus is in the director's chair and it's his link with the project that has drawn the comparisons.
In an interview with Black Book Lerman said: "I think a lot of people are saying that mainly because Chris Columbus's name is attached to both films and we are selling it as, 'From the director of Harry Potter'.
"However, they're different movies. Do we want it to be as successful and as loved [as] the Harry Potter films? Of course, but they're pretty different stories."
He added: "This movie is transferring Greek mythology into the modern day. It's paralleling classic myths and introducing a new demi-god into the modern day world."
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief looks set to shoot Lerman to stardom and he has already been linked with the Spider Man role.
