After appearing in the 2019 Aladdin, the actor Billy Magnussen has issued a promising update on Prince Anders’ solo venture.
According to an interview with Screenrant, Billy reassures fans that the Disney+ spin-off is still in the works.
It’s in development. We are in the stages of rewrites right now, and it’s still moving forward. Yeah, it’s really exciting … I loved making that character up, and to have the opportunity to create a world and a story with him in it has really been a treat. I love that. That’s what I really love about this industry; to play in such a way like that … To be the not-Prince-Charming Prince, you know? We always see Prince Charming, so I was like, ‘Let’s mix it up.”
— Billy Magnussen
