Disney+ has unveiled a first look image of Disenchanted months before its release on the streaming service. Set to arrive on the Thanksgiving holiday, Disenchanted is the official sequel to Enchanted, the 2007 film by Disney following Amy Adams as an animated princess who falls in love with an everyman in the real world. Adams returns as Giselle in Disenchanted, and she can be seen in the first look image alongside newcomer Maya Rudolph as the antagonist, Malvina Monroe.
Disenchanted will reportedly be set about ten years after the events of the previous movie. Giselle, Robert (Patrick Dempsey), and Morgan (Gabriella Baldacchino) have moved to the suburb of Monroeville, run by the nefarious Malvina Monroe. When Giselle wishes for the family to have the “perfect fairy tale” life, the spell goes awry, resulting in Giselle having to save both her family and her homeland of the Kingdom of Andalasia before it’s too late.
Adam Shankman directs Disenchanted using a screenplay co-written with Brigitte Hales, Richard LaGravenese, Scott Neustadter, and Michael H. Weber. Amy Adams is producing with Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld.
Amy Adams Says “Everyone Is Back” for Disenchanted
The cast will also reportedly include James Marsden as Prince Edward, Idina Menzel as Nancy Tremaine, Yvette Nicole Brown as Rosaleen, Jayma Mays as Ruby, Kolton Stewart as Malvina’s son Christ, and Oscar Nunez as Edgar. Amy Adams has previously teased how “everyone is back” for the upcoming sequel.
“We filmed it in Ireland. Everyone is back,” Adams said on The Tonight Show last year. “We also have great additions to the cast. We have Maya Rudolph. She plays the ‘baddie,’ so we get to have a lot of fun together.”
Teasing more musical fun to come, Adams added, “There’s a lot more singing and a lot more dancing which was humbling. The last time I really danced as much as I’m required to dance in this, I was in my 20s and now I’m not in my 20s. It feels different in your 40s. In my heart, I look like I’m in my 20s when I’m dancing, and then I would watch playback and be like, ‘Whoa, that’s not the same.'”
On playing the villain, Maya Rudolph also previously told Variety, “If this had been 15 years ago and someone asked if I wanted to be the bad guy, I might’ve been like, ‘geez, I don’t know,’ but I’ve come to learn in my many years that the most fun thing to get to do is when you get to play The Most.”
“It’s nice to be in a place work-wise where I feel like a lot of what I’ve done can speak for itself. So I don’t have to explain who I am or what I do,” Rudolph also said, explaining how director Adam Shankman had approached her for the part without the need for grueling auditions.
Disenchanted will start streaming on Disney+ on the Thanksgiving holiday in 2022.
