Hi guys, since Beauty and the Beast will be coming next year in March. Here is my opinion and reason on why Gerard Butler should be the perfect beast, comparing him to Dan Stevens.

Gerard Butler

I watched the Phantom of the Opera a few weeks ago after not seeing it for many years, I always thought that it was Antonio Banderas playing the title character. But it did not sound like him at all!
So here is my reason why I think Gerard is the perfect beast, he nailed the character of the Phantom perfectly and he has a rock & roll quality in his voice! He also managed to play a very a sympathetic character in the movie, like the beast.

Dan Stevens

While I'm planning to see Downton Abbey sometimes soon later, I remember watching a couple of episodes 5-6 years ago. My thoughts on Dan himself, was alright, however his acting is wooden at times. But on the other hand, I'll definitely give him another chance if I am lucky enough to see the film next year!

Conclusion

While this is article is short and simple, as mentioned earlier, I would give Dan a chance as the Beast as we never heard him sing. So good luck to him!
