Disney To Make New Prince Charming Film—Who Will Play the Iconic Role?

According to Deadline, acclaimed director Paul King is set to work on a new movie centered around the iconic character of Prince Charming. The project follows King’s successful ventures with the beloved Paddington franchise and the 2023 version of Wonka.

Sources say King will collaborate with Simon Farnaby and Jon Croker, who will co-write the script alongside him. While details about the plot remain under wraps, insiders reveal that the film will not specifically tie into the traditional Cinderella storyline, even though Prince Charming is most commonly associated with her.

Instead, the film will explore the broader origins of the character. Since people have never really been shown the lore of Prince Charming, fans are intrigued! Disney fanatics are tired of remakes, and this feels like something new and refreshing.

With Wonka achieving impressive box office success, grossing $634 million globally, perhaps King will do the Prince Charming character justice. As the casting rumors swirl, social media users on X have begun speculating about who might take on this iconic role. Names such as Nicholas Galitzine, Harry Styles, Henry Cavill, Timothée Chalamet, Zac Efron, and Chris Evans have all been suggested. Not a bad lineup so far, right?

So, who would you choose to play Prince Charming?
