Sir Ian McKellen (you know, Magneto, Gandalf) will be playing Cogsworth in the upcoming live-action version of Beauty and the Beast (2017).
Director Bill Condon is getting an all-star cast for this one, Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Josh Gad as Le Fou, Audra McDonald as Garderobe, Kevin Kline as Maurice, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts. So the next question is, who is playing Lumiere and Chip?!
