Hold onto your enchanted mirrors because the long-awaited images from Disney’s live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast” are finally here, and they are nothing short of magical! These stunning snapshots, shared this week, have exceeded all our expectations. Get ready to be our guest and feast your eyes on these delightful visuals.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Emma Watson’s portrayal of Belle? “I can’t even count how many times I watched the original as a kid,” the former star of the wizarding world shared with Entertainment Weekly. “I knew every word and melody by heart.” The magazine has been kind enough to release a treasure trove of enchanting behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, so we didn’t have to wait long to see the beloved cast.
Among the cast, we spot Josh Gad as Le Fou and Luke Evans as the ever-brawny Gaston, who’s known for his impressive sword skills. As the catchy tune goes, “No one fights like Gaston – Douses lights like Gaston – In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!” Just look at that muscular man wielding his sword!
Whether she’s dressed to the nines or just keeping it casual, Watson is sure to shine in her leading role. She expressed her love for the original animated film, which was a box office hit in 1991 and even inspired a Broadway show that dazzled audiences for 13 years.
Watson will share the screen with Kevin Kline, who plays her father, Maurice. “In Disney’s animated classic, Belle is an avid reader while her dad is an inventor,” the magazine noted. “In this live-action version, there are some BIG changes afoot.” And we’re all for it!
We’re also thrilled to see the iconic supporting characters reimagined. Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be the same without Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Lumière, and Plumette.
And how could we overlook the Beast? Just look at those formidable horns! You’d hardly recognize Dan Stevens beneath all that makeup. We’ve caught a glimpse of the Beast, but thankfully just one shot—after all, it’s best to keep some surprises for when it hits theaters.
