This may leave many fans disappointed, as I don't think we've had a more spot-on piece of casting in some time - but as you can see from the below Tweet from Variety's Marc Graser, the lovely Emma Watson won't be playing
Cinderella in Disney's live action adaptation, which has
Thor helmer Kenneth Branagh lined up to direct.
We don't have any more details right now, but apparently scheduling conflicts were always a possibility so perhaps that's the reason Watson was forced to pass. The movie still has Cate Blanchett attached to play the Wicked Stepmother, and Gabriella Wilde (
The Three Musketeers), Imogen Poots (
Fright Night) and Alicia Vikander (
Anna Karenina) were all up for the lead role at one point too so perhaps the glass slipper will pass to one of them now.
