A Prince Charming Movie is in development at Disney with a director and screenwriters attached. Prince Charming is an archetypal character present in many fairy tales, but in terms of Disney princess movies he is most often linked to the 1950s Cinderella. While their original animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs featured an unnamed print that had similar characteristics, Cinderella was the first canonical Disney princess title to use the name Prince Charming, with subsequent princes usually given first names including Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid and Prince Philip in Sleeping beauty.
Per Term, Paddington And Wonka Director Paul King is now attached to a Prince Charming Movie What’s in the works at Disney. This project is said to not tie in Cinderella. Plot details are currently unknown about the script, which will be written by King, Jon Croker (The Woman in Black 2: Angel of DeathMore material on Paddington 2 And American animals), and King’s frequent collaborator Simon Farnaby (Wonka, Paddington 2).
What the Prince Charming announcement means
There are still many unknowns about the movie

Prince Charming has been interpreted in many different ways over the yearsincluding as a conniving villain in Fear 2 and an enchanted amnesia patient at ABC’s Once upon a time. However, it seems likely that the movie could be an origin story for the stock character or present a different perspective on a classic, non-Cinderella Disney tale, focusing on the Prince’s side of the story.
So far, it is also unknown exactly what the format is Prince Charming Movie will take. However, given Paul King’s pedigree, It seems likely to be a live-action musical As of 2023 Wonka. The movie, which starred Timothée Chalamet as a younger version of the enigmatic chocolate maker from the 1971 Roald Dahl adaptation Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factorywas a smash hit, grossing $632 million against a $125 million budget and earning a certified fresh 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Thus, it seems likely that King and his co-screenwriters would try to replicate his success.
