In 2014, Logan Lerman crushed all of our dreams when he confirmed to MTV News that he didn't think a third movie in the "Percy Jackson" series would be happening. With three more of Rick Riordan's books left to adapt, this news hit like a huge blow to the heart for everyone who loved the movies just as much as they loved the novels.
Today, on Logan Lerman's 24th birthday, here are all of the reasons why the movie gods need to change their minds and gift us with another "Percy Jackson" movie, STAT.
