Wanting to avoid comparisons to fairy godmothers past, Cannon says she decided early on simply \u2018to make it Billy Porter.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Porter, of course, is famous for his gender-bending red carpet looks. As a correspondent for most of the major awards shows, Porter often appears in a long ball gown or covered in sparkly accessories as a way of making a statement about A-lister fashion. Indeed, in a set of promotional photos sent to media at the same time as Disney announced the film\u2019s updated, post-COVID-19 release date, Porter is outfitted for the role of \u201cFab G\u201d in a flowing, copper-colored gown and \u201ccustom Jimmy Choo butterfly boots.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.9752066115702\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cinderella 2021 movie image reveals the first look at Billy Porter as the Fairy Godmother, or as his character will be known in the movie, the Fab G. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3KptQhhxWi\">https:\/\/t.co\/3KptQhhxWi<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ub80R70Wj6\">pic.twitter.com\/ub80R70Wj6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Screen Rant (@screenrant) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/screenrant\/status\/1393326011731877888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cannon, EW said, \u201cwrote the role specifically for the actor and his talents, and once he was on board (Cannon remembers casting him as the \u2018easiest thing\u2019 in the film\u2019s entire process), Porter continued to shape the character \u2014 a supernatural being who stands for being true to oneself, and who transcends mundane human labels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Porter, Cannon added, gave a voice to the character\u2019s new theme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly articulated the idea [that] magic has no gender,\u201d Cannon said.<\/p>\n<p>When he announced that he was cast for the role as \u201cFab G,\u201d Porter said his aim was to portray the iconic \u201cFairy Godmother\u201d as specifically genderless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt hit me when I was on the set last week, how profound it is that I am playing the Fairy Godmother\u2014they call it the Fab G,\u201d Porter told CBS News. \u201cMagic has no gender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a classic, this is a classic fairytale for a new generation,\u201d Porter said, adding that the idea of a genderless godmother is \u201cpowerful.\u201d \u201cI think that the new generation is really ready.

The film, which is the third live-action \u201cCinderalla\u201d movie and the second in less than a decade (the last one, in 2015, made a shocking $542 million at the box office), stars pop music sensation Camila Cabello in the title role. British actor Nicholas Galitzine will play Prince Charming. The new version will not feature the traditional songs associated with the Disney \u201cCinderella\u201d adaptations; According to Vulture, the film is \u201ca musically-driven new take on the traditional story,\u201d that will blend \u201cpop songs and new material by Cabello.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
