DeadlinereportsChris Hemsworthis in talk to star inPrince Charming , a young labor at Disney fromPaddingtonandWonkadirector Paul King .
Prince Charmingis based on a script co - written by King with Simon Farnaby and Jon Croker ; the exact nature and details of the story are currently under wrapper , but unless it divulge itself to be a bare rom - com utilise the name likeThe Perfect ManorThe Idea of You , the write up likely concerns some variation of the pedigree character take in inSnow White , Sleeping Beauty , Rapunzel , and other Disney fairy tales . As the outlet note , “ insider do summate that the film will not specifically be linked toCinderella , ” and so will likelynotbe a retelling of the Disney moving picture from the linear perspective of its royal shoe - obsessed love interest .
Perhaps Prince Charming reallywillbe some variety of essay on the stock fibre , in a similar vein to Greta Gerwig’sBarbie , with Hemsworth as some sort of bumbling embodiment of the trope — similar to Ryan Gosling ’s evergreen portrayal of Ken . Perhaps it ’ll be a sort of modern repeat ofThe Stepford Husbands , the 1996 made - for - tv set sequel toThe Stepford Wiveswith Mr. Hemsworth stand in for Michael Ontkean . How are idealistic storybook men made , and for what purpose ? Will Hemsworth ’s Charming become self - aware and lead a rotation of his fellow worker as they question why they ’re cursed to playact second fiddle to their princess counterparts ? We ’ll find out soon enough .
