Way back in 2023 I wrote a post which went through the IMDB trivia page for the “Live action Disney Remake version of Hunchback of Notre Dame,” which Fun Fact is now listed under the title of “Tiana.”

Most of the trivia was an actor expressing interest in a role and according to the Trivia (which may or may not have been true,) Lin-Manuel Miranda expressed interest in the role of Clopin. To this bit of trivia I expressed ambivalence saying in that blog post ” On a personal level I think I would prefer another actor to play Clopin but I’m more ambivalent about this casting should it come to pass.” At the time, the project was still being worked on but there was no real news on it.

So while Disney has since shelved the live-action remake (at least while Iger is CEO) let’s just see if Miranda would/would’ve be a good choice for Clopin or if past me was correct in my ambivalence.

Also Fun fact, it’s been a while since we done a hypothetical casting pick for Clopin.
