Josh Gad has teased a photo of the cast of the new Beauty And The Beast live-action movie.
The Wedding Ringer star will play Gaston’s goofy henchman Le Fou, alongside Harry Potter’s Emma Watson as Belle, Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens as The Beast and The Hobbit star Luke Evans as arrogant villain Gaston.
Josh captioned the picture, which also shows Kevin Kline who will play Belle’s father Maurice: “Can’t wait for you to be our guest.”
The Disney movie, directed by Twilight: Breaking Dawn’s Bill Condon, is about to begin filming for release in March 2017.
It will also star Sir Ian McKellen as enchanted clock Cogsworth and Emma Thompson has been cast as teapot Mrs Potts.
The casting for key role Lumiere, the singing and dancing candlestick who welcomes Belle to the Beast’s castle, is not yet known.
Unlike the recent Disney remake of Cinderella, Beauty And The Beast will keep the songs from the original cartoon.
