Disney’s long-awaited Prince Charming project is moving full steam ahead and casting directors are reportedly considering Daisy Edgar Jones to play the female lead.
Thor actor Chris Hemsworth (pictured) is rumored to be circling the lead role; However, there has been no confirmation about the cast so far.
Even though the casting was completely speculative, fans were unhappy with the possibility of the actors appearing together as romantic interests in the new Disney project.
Hemsworth is 41 years old, 15 years older than Edgar Jones, a factor that fans don’t seem to be happy with regarding the unconfirmed casting.
Disgruntled social media users were quick to criticize the speculative casting, asking why older princesses couldn’t be cast.
One asked: “When will we have a princess over 30?”
‘Do you want to choose a 26-year-old boy with a 41-year-old man? Get rid of this now,” a second joked.
‘Why a 20-year-old person and a 45-year-old? It doesn’t make sense,” another intervened in reference to the rumors.
‘I love Chris Hemsworth, but couldn’t they get a 26-40 year old princess or a young prince?’
Another asked: ‘Why does the prince have to be randomly 45 years old and the girl born in 2000?’
Screenwriter Catherine Delgado said fandomwire that the unconfirmed age difference between Mr. Hemsworth and Ms. Edgar Jones could “raise some concerns.”
Moviegoers took to X (formerly Twitter) to point out the 15-year age difference between the two actors.
Daisy Edgar Jones first rose to fame on the BBC’s Normal People alongside heartthrob Paul Mescal.
Screenwriter Catherine Delgado said the age difference between Hemsworth and Edgar Jones could “raise some concerns” if they are cast in the roles.
‘Although strictly professional, the 15-year age difference between the two might cause some in the public to view the couple differently.
He added: “It remains a detail that can attract attention and even generate controversy, whether the film is a drama or a fantasy.”
However, digital marketing expert Lindi Mngaza has a different opinion on the possible casting.
She told the Mail: “I personally feel like he’s in his twenties and, in fact, history has shown that older men and younger women have historically had good relationships.”
‘There are movies by people like Nicole, who introduce themselves to a lot of younger men.
“So I think it’s something that seems very polarized right now, but I don’t think it’s something to be too alarmed about.”
“I think it’s a narrative that has happened throughout history and will continue to happen.”
Rumors about Disney’s Prince Charming movie began to surface last month, and it is said that the film will focus on the famous fictional prince.
But no plot details have been revealed, and it’s still unclear how many of its leading ladies, such as Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, will appear.
Wonka director Paul King will direct the project and co-write the script with Simon Farnaby and Jon Croker, with whom he previously worked on films such as Paddington 2.
However, the possible casting is not the first time Hollywood has come under fire for controversial age differences.
However, it is not the first time that Hollywood has been criticized for the age difference in casting and roles: an X-rated sex scene between Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman in Miller’s Girl is described as “disgusting.”
The film sees the two, who are 31 years apart, entangled in a very complex and inappropriate relationship, with Cairo choosing to write a sexual story after being commissioned for creative writing by Jonathan.

On X, which was formerly known as Twitter, viewers wrote: “I think I’m finally done watching these age gap movies.” They’re all disgusting and I’m tired of it. No amount of Jenna Ortega or Martin Freeman could save this for me.”
