Dan Stevens, mostly known for his role in "Downton Abbey," has been cast as the Beast in Disney's live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast." Emma Watson, who will star as Belle in the new film, was thrilled with the news.
Watson also gave a shoutout to Luke Evans, who was cast on Wednesday as Gaston.
"Beauty and the Beast" continues Disney's trend of remaking an old animated classic into a live-action film: "Cinderella" opens March 13, and last year's "Maleficent" raked it in at the box office, a twist on "Sleeping Beauty," earning more than $700 million worldwide.
Disney has yet to confirm if "Beauty and the Beast" will be a musical, but when Watson announced her casting, she wrote in a Facebook post, "My 6-year-old self is on the ceiling -- heart bursting. Time to start some singing lessons."
We can already tell Stevens, whose credits also include "The Guest" and "A Walk Among the Tombstones," is excited for the gig:
