The person reportedly tasked with finding new content is the President of Disney Live Action Studios and 20th Century Studios, David Greenbaum.

Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty aren't the only ones looking for a prince. Leadership at Walt Disney Studios has been pressing Hollywood creatives in recent months, multiple sources tell Variety, for movies that will bring young men back to the brand in a meaningful way.

Disney is urgently seeking original content to cater to a specific demographic responsible for some of the biggest box office hits in recent years.
