Disney developing live-action adventure movie ‘Knights’

Disney is developing a live-action adventure movie titled Knights that will be set in the Middle Ages, Collider reports.

The story is said to follow a headstrong young woman who joins a knight in his quest to destroy a world-threatening artifact before it falls into the wrong hands.

According to Deadline, Knights is expected to be a theatrical title rather than a Disney+ release, and Disney’s live-action executives Jessica Virtue and Chaz Salembier will oversee the project on behalf of the studio.

Virtue is a senior staffer at Disney who has worked on the Emma Stone movie Cruella and the live-action remakes of Mulan and The Little Mermaid, while Salembier has worked on the upcoming Disney+ movie Lady and the Tramp.
