Disney Developing Live-Action 'Gaston' Film With Dave Callaham Writing

The project represents a fresh theatrical reimagining distinct from the scrapped Luke Evans Disney+ spinoff.

Overview

  • The film is in early development with Michelle Rejwan producing and no director attached.
  • Disney plans a new take on Gaston with a new actor, with Luke Evans not expected to return.
  • Sources describe the tone as "swashbuckling," with specific plot details still under wraps.
  • A previous draft was written by Kate Herron and Briony Redman before Callaham boarded.
  • Insiders say the studio is enthusiastic about the concept, aligning with Disney's broader villain-focused live-action strategy.
