Disney is reportedly developing a live-action feature centred on Gaston, the swaggering villain from Beauty and the Beast, as the studio continues to mine its animated catalogue for character-led spin-offs.
The project is in early development, with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings writer Dave Callaham attached to write the screenplay and Michelle Rejwan set to produce, according to Deadline. A previous draft was written by Kate Herron and Briony Redman.
