Disney is set to expand its "Descendants" universe further with the announcement of a new movie, "Hidden Heroes: A Descendants Story." This fresh addition will introduce viewers to the children of Disney sidekicks, including the Genie, Yzma, Kronk, Merryweather, and Lumiere. The film, described as "music-and-dance-fueled," will follow the young sidekicks as they train at a secret facility, preparing to protect their fairytale world from villainous threats.
The movie, set to star Dior Goodjohn as the Genie's daughter, Jacke, and Momona Tamada as Yzma's daughter, Zara, will also feature Jacob Rodriguez, Eva Fossaceca Smedley, and Harry Jones. The ensemble cast includes Rhys Dawkins, Connor Wong, and Kyra Wong as the Potts siblings.
"Hidden Heroes: A Descendants Story" will be directed by Jude Weng and written by Tamara Chestna, Eydie Faye, and Emma Fletcher. The film is slated to join the ranks of the previous "Descendants" films, which have focused on the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts, Cinderella, and Captain Hook. It remains to be seen if any of the original "Descendants" cast will reprise their roles in this latest installment.
