Cast-wise Watson leads as Belle, the beauty to Dan Stevens’ beast. Appearing alongside them include Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor, Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Josh Gad, Kevin Kline, Audra Mcdonald, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Nathan Mack.
Beauty and the Beast opens in UK cinemas on the 17th of March, 2017.
