Paul King to Direct New Prince Charming Film

Disney is developing a new movie centered on the character of Prince Charming, with Paul King, known for directing the Paddington films and the recent Wonka, at the helm. The screenplay will be co-written by King alongside Simon Barnaby and Jon Croker, but specific plot details remain undisclosed. While traditionally associated with Cinderella, this upcoming film is reported to not be directly linked to that story. The nature of the film—whether live-action or animated—has yet to be determined, though recent trends suggest a live-action approach. King's experience with family-friendly narratives positions him well for this project, which will explore the archetypal Prince Charming character found in numerous Disney tales.
