Beauty and the Beast stars Josh Gad and Luke Evans are heading to Netflix - and no, it's not a Gaston/LeFou spinoff (unfortunately).

Instead, the two stars are actually attached to star in Super-Normal alongside another very big name - Star Wars actressDaisy Ridley, so you can most definitely colour us very excited.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josh originally pitched the idea for the project with the help of Luke, the story being a subversive, character-driven take on the superhero genre.

He also got his Murder On The Orient Express co-star Daisy on-board, and developed the idea with scriptwriters Aaron and Jordan Kandell of Moana.

Josh will executive produce Super-Normal with Luke and Death Note's Dan Lin, and Jonathan Eirich is also on board to produce the Netflix project.

As you probably already know, Beauty and the Beast became a humungous success when it was released earlier this year. The film, which also starred Emma Watson as Belle, took in a whopping $1 billion worldwide at the box office, becoming the biggest movie musical ever made.

Meanwhile, Daisy will next be seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which no doubt will also take in a fair bit of money at the box office upon its release, too.
