There could be a wise old owl as a new character. This owl could act as a guide for Beauty, giving her advice on how to deal with the Beast and the enchanted world.
We can expect new interpretations of the characters. Maybe the Beast will have a more complex backstory, and Beauty could be a stronger, more independent character than in the traditional version.
The modern story might incorporate modern technology. Maybe Belle uses a high - tech device to communicate or solve problems within the story. It could also be a modern retelling in terms of its values. Instead of just focusing on love conquering all, it might touch on themes like equality and self - acceptance. For instance, the Beast has to learn to accept himself as he is before he can truly be loved.
Maybe in the new story, Beauty is a talented artist. When she comes to the Beast's castle, she uses her art to gradually transform the cold and dreary place. The Beast, who has never seen such beauty created by human hands, is deeply moved. Their relationship develops as they create art together. And it turns out that the key to breaking the curse is not just love, but the power of creativity that Beauty brings. So in the end, they break the curse and build a new, beautiful world around them.
A talking raven could be a new character. The raven could be the Beast's only friend before Beauty arrives. It gives Beauty some insights about the Beast's past and helps her understand him better. Another new character could be a kind old wizard who lives on the outskirts of the forest near the Beast's castle. He knows the secret behind the curse and gives hints to Beauty on how to break it.
I don't have a definite answer. DC has a history of reinventing their storylines, so DC New 25 could be a partial retelling with some modifications or it could be a completely new take. It depends on how they approach it.
