Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Colman Domingo is in early talks to develop and co‑write a live‑action film centered on Princess Tiana, with the initial scoop published on Friday.
- Playwright and director Robert O’Hara is reported to be partnering with Domingo as a co‑writer, but several sources say deals have not closed for either writer.
- Coverage describes the project as an original spin‑off inspired by the 2009 animated The Princess and the Frog instead of a scene‑for‑scene remake.
- Disney has not confirmed the film, and no director, cast, production schedule, or release date has been announced.
- The move builds on Tiana’s continued presence across Disney parks and could give the character more human screen time while the studio recalibrates its live‑action strategy after uneven box‑office results for recent remakes.
