  1. I wouldn’t mind to see this cast in the actual movie. Kelsey Grammer could be a great frollo as well. And I am pretty sure all of them can deliver great performances.

    Note: beauty and the beast adaptation was directed by bill condon not kenneth Branagh

    All the live actions have sucked so far to bad no one from Disney can be original.

      As much as I hate “Disney ” is remaking their films into live action. Jungle book was the best one. Disney suits need to start getting dirty and start researching stories from different cultures to bring to light. I’m sure there are tons out there, but people have become lazy & do remakes

      1. Kurt

        I think the Jungle Book is the only remake I saw. Have to admit it was pretty good!

    No honestly…
    Why doesn’t Disney make original content anymore?

    1. Anna

      Cause they have no new ideas. That’s why we’re getting ANOTHER Toy Story.

    2. Nancy

      I don’t think Josh Gad is the right choice for Quasimodo nor is Chris Evans right for the role as Phoebus…

      Furthermore they always change everything about the story and ruin it. I’m not excited about any of the live action remakes coming up…they need new original stories

    I don’t think there is even a possibility of redoing this in fact I. Don’t know? How they did it the first time that frodo is evil I mean the things he says that’s wrong.

  5. Kyra

    Kenneth Brannagh directed Cinderella

  6. Yotsuya

    It will be awful if they don’t cast a Romani woman as Esmeralda.

  7. Patti

    I’ll bet this turns into another woke mess.

    I never comment on this site but I had to leave leave a comment for this. DISNEY, STOP! just STOP with these pathetic live action remakes ok. YOU ARE LOSING FANS THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR DECADES BECAUSE OF THIS GARBAGE TACTIC YOU HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST 10+YEARS. The studio heads at Disney new d to get it through their heads that’s we don’t want any of this garbage. Rant over.

    This was a fan cast and not real, guys.

    1. Nyxa

      Not usually interested in live action remakes but casting Peter capaldi as follows is a genius idea he definitely has the looks of frollo and he is an incredible actor. If this is true I may be tempted to watch it.

  10. Rteker

    Who else can say that they saw this coming and thought that Disney needs to STOP with the live action movies

  11. Alicia

    I would like taron egerton to play Quasimodo he would do well for the roll

  12. Joe

    What Quasimodo isnt gonna be black, gay, pan or tran…what is wrong with Disney why arent they all inclusive..(sarcasm)

    1. Bert

      Disney is just giving you what you want. Gay Quasimodo would be great!

    2. Kate

      Exactly. If it isn’t woke, people loose their minds. So pathetic. Maybe Dusney is learning it’s lesson that going woke means going broke….since their last woke remakes all tanked.

  13. Mickeymouse3

    Oh gawd. Not another live action remake. Real news or not, please don’t even give the thought to the now uncreative Disney “imaginears”. I don’t see Universal doing live action remakes.

    1. Teagan

      YES, PETER CAPALDI NEEDS TO BE IN THIS! HES AMAZING AND I’LL CRY IF HE ISNT IN IT!!

  14. Elphie

    I love Josh Gad, but no freaking way. The day he plays Quasimodo is the day I play Frollo, and I’m a teenage girl. But I have to say, that poster art is gorgeous! Disney should hire that person.

  15. Sidney

    No we’re not. We’re really freaking excited!!!! I’ve waited 30 years for this!!!

  16. Zach

    Disney’s going to have to be really /really/ careful when casting this one oof Theres an unfortunate potential for ableism and racism not related to the movie plot, and I really hope they choose casting wisely

  17. ALEXANDR I KATAFIAS

    I AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU JOSH BRO, THE PERFECT CASTING FOR QUASIMODO AND ESMERELDA ARE (IE) JACK BLACK AND PENELOPE CRUZ, YES I AM SERIOUS. EVERYONE ELSE IS PERFECT CASTING!

  18. Julie

    You do realize that the original story is about inclusivity, anti-racism, anti-ableism, Catholic corruption, and women’s rights? Like those are core themes written about in the book. I don’t get anti-inclusive rhetoric at the best of times, but that’s literally the plot of the book.

  19. KATE

    The only reason people are upset is because Disney didn’t go black enough on this one. Let’s be honest, all the woke remakes so far have tanked. Disney might be learning it’s lesson, especially when the remake takes place in an historic and real place. But the woke fools out there won’t get Beyonce as Esmerelda so they’ll all whine about how racist it is.
