Ian McKellen Will Play Cogsworth in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Disney has cast Sir Ian McKellen as Cogsworth in director Bill Condon's live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast! As you know, McKellen is an incredible actor, and I'm kind of surprised that they got him to be in this movie. I wasn't expecting this kind of epic casting, but he's going to be perfect. 

The casting for Beauty and the Beast has surpassed my expectations. McKellen joins the following talented individuals in the feature: Emma Watson as Belle, Dan Stevens as the Beast/Prince, Luke Evans as Gaston, and Josh Gad as Gaston's goofy sidekick Le Fou. 

McKellen has starred in a ton of movies during his career, but he's best known for playing Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies as well as the villainous mutant Magneto in the X-Men movies.
