After serving as a love interest in countless films, Prince Charming will finally be getting his five minutes in the spotlight. Disney is plotting a new film that centers on this character, with Paul King at the helm, and Chris Hemsworth is reportedly in talks to play the lead role.
Disney’s Prince Charming hails from director Paul King, who co-wrote the script alongside Simon Farnaby and Jon Croker. He’s the perfect person for the job after finding success as the writer/director of the Paddington franchise and directing the hit musical Wonka starring Timothée Chalamet, which grossed $634 million worldwide.
Disney is yet to share any details about this project, and we don’t know if it will be an animated or a live-action film. It’s also unclear if the Prince Charming in question will be a love interest from one of Disney’s classics, such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White, or an original character created for this film.
Hemsworth is best known as the star of Marvel’s Thor and The Avengers films, whose recent credits include Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and Transformers One. He’s no stranger to starring in fairy tale adaptations, and we’ve previously seen him play the Huntsman in Snow White and the Huntsman and its sequel The Huntsman: Winter’s War.
