Wonder Woman and IT made a huge impression at the box office this year, but both failed to overtake 2017’s biggest hit: Beauty and the Beast. Released back in March, Disney’s blockbuster reimagining of its animated classic is still the highest-grossing film of the year, and as we wade into the prestigious waters of awards season, the studio is making sure that voters don’t forget about it.
Another day, another incredible casting possibility dangled in our face before being cruelly snatched away by our unjust universe. Today, it’s Beauty and the Beast. The role: Gaston. The star: Idris Elba.
