‘Beauty And The Beast 2’ Spoilers: Dan Stevens Talks About Possible Sequel

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” was such a big hit that people are wondering if a sequel will be made to continue the story of Belle (Emma Watson) and Beast (Dan Stevens).

When asked by Entertainment Tonight recently about the sequel, Stevens said he would love for it to happen. However, the decision still rests on studio executives.

“People often ask if that’s in the cards. That’s not really a question I can answer. That’s one for studio execs, I guess. I don’t know what form that would take? But I’d be interested to hear if anybody has got any pitches,” he said.

During an earlier interview, his co-star Watson already came up with a suggestion on what to do with the sequel. Since she loves books so much, Watson said it would be a great idea for her to help out the other villagers.

“I always thought that Belle would become a teacher and she would run the library in the castle and open it up to the village. This was where I was going,” Watson told Access Hollywood.

Meanwhile, Luke Evans and Josh Gad, who play Gaston and LeFou, respectively, also have a great idea for a possible sequel. The two talked to People and said it would be great for the two characters to have their own spin-off movie instead of bringing back the entire cast.

“I’d love to see a sequel to Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ starring LeFou and Gaston,” said Gad. “Gaston with a broken arm, and will probably be pushed on a wheelchair. The two of them travel Europe looking for other potential suitors for Gaston. Could be Weekend at Bernie’s-style — me and Stanley Tucci’s character just holding him up.”

Evans thought Gad’s idea was brilliant and contributed that they could make something similar to “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” Gaston would be nursing a “broken heart, a broken ego” after Belle (Emma Watson) rejects him in favor of Beast, so he leans on his sidekick LeFou for a new adventure.

“Beauty and the Beast” was released on March 16.
