‘Beauty and the Beast’ Casts its Plumette

Beyond the Lights star Gugu Mbatha-Raw has been tapped to play the feather duster Plumette in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens.

Luke Evans (Gaston), Josh Gadd (LeFou), Ian McKellen (Cogsworth), and Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts) also star. Bill Condon is directing from a script written by Evan Spiliotopoulos and rewritten by Stephen Chbosky. David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films are producing. Mbatha-Raw’s character has gone through several iterations in the Disney canon, with the flirty feather duster previously called both Babette and Fifi in other versions of the story.

 

Production will begin this year for a March 17, 2017, release.
