Kristen Wiig’s Barb And Star Follow-Up Is A Cinderella Musical For Disney, With A Twist

As noted earlier, Disney’s take on the classic Cinderella story was remade back in 2015, which starred Lily James as the eponymous protagonist, Richard Madden as the Prince, Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother, Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine, and Sophie McShera and Holliday Grainger as Drizella and Anastasia, respectively. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo’s musical, on the other hand, sounds similar to the Maleficent movies, which have explored the Sleeping Beauty mythology through Angelina Jolie iteration of the title witch. Other villain-focused projects Disney has coming up include Cruella and the Beauty and the Beast Disney+ prequel series following Gaston and LeFou.
