It’s officially confirmed that the beloved character, Prince Charming, will be featured in an upcoming film set to hit theaters. In Disney’s animated Cinderella films, the romantic knight in shining armor is known for rescuing his beloved princess Cinderella, creating a fantasy narrative where they live happily ever after, free from evil stepsisters and a wicked stepmother. While Prince Charming often plays a secondary role in many Disney princess stories, he is the pivotal love interest in Cinderella, stepping in to save the day and complete her fairy tale.
Paul King, director of the first two Paddington movies, will serve as the creative director for this much-anticipated Disney project, with Jon Croker and Simon Barnaby also on board. Notably, with Paul King directing, it’s worth mentioning that he also helmed the recent film Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet. Wonka is projected to gross $218 million domestically and over $600 million worldwide—quite impressive!
According to Deadline, the traditional moment of the princess’s awakening won’t happen in this film, leading to an unexpected outcome. Whether the film will be animated or a family-friendly live-action adaptation has yet to be confirmed.
In closing, the 1950 film marked a successful debut for the Disney Princess franchise, providing a surprising boost for Warner Bros.
