Introducing Princess Reese Witherspoon!

The 37-year-old mother of three is ready to add some magic to the big screen in her latest project just announced.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Witherspoon will star in Happily Ever After, a Disney film hoping to add a fresh spin to the popular fairy-tale genre.

The movie will follow a prince and a princess almost 10 years after they rode off into the sunset for their "happily ever after." Like many couples today, the magical duo will quickly learn marriage is no fairy tale and hard work is necessary to keep relationships strong.

Even though the plot may sound a bit dramatic, (at least for Disney standards) fans will be happy to know the movie's creator is none other than Nahnatchka Khan, the mastermind behind ABC's hilarious comedy Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23.

Witherspoon's new role couldn't come at a better time.

The self-proclaimed Disney fan hasn't starred in a family film since 2009's Monsters vs. Aliens.

In addition, we can't help but imagine how excited Witherspoon's three kids are at the idea of seeing their mom as a real-life princess.

As the actress waits to find out who her Prince Charming will be on the big screen, we have someone in mind. Hey, Robert Pattinson, are you up for a Water for Elephants reunion?  

Congratulations, Reese, on the new gig. We're already excited to see it!
