US Edition‘He Uses Antlers in All of His Decorating’ and Now, Gaston Is Getting His Own Live-Action Movie
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.

- Callaham brings established tentpole experience while Rejwan has produced major Star Wars live-action projects and oversaw live-action at Lucasfilm, and insiders say the studio is very high on the idea.
- Disney says it hopes audiences will embrace a Gaston spinoff, though industry observers question whether Gaston can reliably attract box-office audiences.
- Some insiders remain skeptical even as the creative team draws praise, Deadline first reported the project and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed it.
