A movie about Prince Charming isn’t something anyone saw coming, especially since it’s focusing on the one fromCinderella. The news just dropped, and there’s barely any info on the production yet, but knowing the character, it’s pretty much a given that he’ll end up with a love interest along the way.
It’s still too early to confirm the cast, though Chris Hemsworth is reported to be in line for the lead role. Adding to the buzz, Daisy Edgar-Jones is also reportedly being considered as the prince’s love interest. This raises the question: is this a good idea, considering the age gap between the actors?
Chris Hemsworth And Daisy Edgar-Jones Could Play A Couple InPrince Charming
Everything aboutPaul King‘s new moviePrince Charmingis still up in the air. The closest thing to confirmation comes from aDeadlinereport, which states thatChris Hemsworthis in negotiations to play the lead role.
According to insiders, the production will focus on Cinderella’s prince, but the princess won’t be involved in the plot. The character has never been clearly defined in Disney’s fairytales, and maybe that’s exactly why there’s potential for a fresh and intriguing story — it’s a theme worth exploring.

Recently,The Hollywood Handlereported thatDaisy Edgar-Joneswas rumored to be cast as Hemsworth’s romantic partner. However, one detail might raise some concerns. Even though it’s strictly professional, the 15-year age gap between the two could make some in the audience view the pairing differently.
This isn’t an entirely unusual situation, as similar age gaps have been seen in other films likeAloha,The Reader,Silver Linings Playbook, andLost in Translation, to name a few. However, it’s still a detail that can raise eyebrows and even spark controversy, whether the movie is a drama or a fantasy.
It seems that Disney will have a responsibility withPrince Charming, especially since the character originates from its own universe. Because of this, it’s not hard to imagine that if such an issue were to arise, they would already have a plan in place on how to handle it.
Still, overall, it’s not something viewers should be overly concerned about. After all, the film is already highly anticipated and promises to be memorable, considering the director’s other well-loved projects — thePaddingtonfilms and the acclaimedWonka.
What To Expect FromPrince Charming?
Since the earliest days of fairy tales, the focus has always been on the princess, with the prince often serving as a supporting character she eventually ends up with. But what if that dynamic could be flipped and told from a new, creative perspective?
Little is known about this type of character who appears in almost all the classic Disney stories. The challenge, however, lies in taking him out ofCinderella‘s world to tell his personal story. After all, for some, this might not seem like an interesting plot to follow.

Hemsworth has already been seen inSnow White and the Huntsman, which might give a sense of the tone and style of the project, showing why he was considered a good fit for Prince Charming. However, the actor’s age is still a factor, as it doesn’t quite align with the age the character would typically have in a fairy tale.
In the end, can the life of a prince inside a palace actually be intriguing? Could he have already met Cinderella, or is this an alternative reality where the couple never actually crossed paths? Just have to wait and see.
