Ian McKellen has signed on as 'Cogsworth' in Beauty and the Beast remake

Few weeks back I brought you news about the remake of 'Beauty and the Beast' into live action film and the excellent cast-members who would be in the film; like Emma Watson as Belle, Kevin Kline as Belle's father, Maurice, Dan Stevens as Beast, Luke Evans as Gaston, Josh Gad as Le Fou and Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts.

Well now, there is another impressive actor that has joined the list of Disney's excellent cast-members for the 'Beauty and the Beast' remake.  The actor is Ian Mckellen .He has signed on as Cogsworth; the often strict, but good-natured majorodomo of Beast castle.
