Unfortunately, Gaston will eventually interfere by attempting to take Belle for himself and hunt down the Beast “at any cost.”
Just like its predecessor, next year’s Beauty and the Beast will follow Belle, a young woman who loves to read and dreams of adventure.
Her aspirations for the latter will finally be fulfilled when she is taken prisoner within the Beast’s castle to free her father.
