Disney live-action film development shifts

Overview

Disney is reportedly shifting its live-action development focus within the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ franchise. Reports indicate that the studio has cancelled a live-action Prince Charming movie, which was previously linked to actors Daisy Edgar-Jones and Chris Hemsworth.

In place of the Prince Charming project, Disney is pivoting toward a new project centered on the character Gaston. Actor Glen Powell is rumored to be cast in the role, which would explore the origins of the film’s primary antagonist. The project is reportedly being developed with a script by Dave Callaham and is expected to have a ‘swashbuckling’ tone.
