The original Disney: Cinderella hit theaters 70 years ago today! February 15, 1950!

Now, It’s been a year since the announcement: another live-action Cinderella is on the way!

This one will be produced by James Corden, directed by Kay Cannon and is set to “modernize” the story.

So, who is set to star in the new version? This is what we know so far:

Billy Porter can bring all of his red-carpet glamour to this role! I am here for it!

Prince Robert: Nicholas Galitzine

British actor Nicholas Galitzine wowed filmmakers with his chemistry with Camila, giving him the role of Prince Robert. He has previously been in productions like The Beat Beneath My Feet, opposite Luke Perry. He also stars alongside Uma Thurman in the Netflix Series Chambers.

She has a Tony and a Grammy under her belt, and you’ll recognize her voice as Queen Elsa from Frozen but, Idina Menzel is set to take on the villain role in this Disney flick!
