Disney is creating a new live-action Gaston film with writer Dave Callaham and producer Michelle Rejwan, offering a fresh, swashbuckling take with a new lead actor.

- Some insiders remain skeptical even as the creative team draws praise, Deadline first reported the project and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed it.
