Disney has found its Beast!

Disney’s Live Action Beauty and the Beast has cast Dan Stevens in the role of the beast. Stevens, who is well known from the series Downton Abbey, tweeted the news about his role. With Emma Watson as Belle and Stevens as the Beast, we just need confirmation on whether Luke Evans will play Gaston.

Still in the early casting stages, with many roles to fill, I am excited to hear all the upcoming news and trailers from Beauty and the Beast. If the story and incredibly beautiful costuming for the live-action Cinderella (coming to theatres, March 13, 2015) is anything to go by, I can’t wait to see Belle’s costumes and the Beast’s suits. This Disney Addict and Entertainment Writer for Chipandco.com will be on the edge of her seat waiting for all the exciting new live action movies coming our way. I see a whole new era of top notch entertainment from Disney for the more mature Disney Addicts.

Based on the well loved story of Belle, there are plans to include most of the the Broadway stage songs from Alen Menken and Tim Rice. I know I will be singing in the theatre!
