Disney+ has dropped the first Disenchanted clip for its highly-anticipated fantasy sequel starring Amy Adams. The video teases the exciting returns of James Marsden’s Edward and Idina Menzel’s Nancy, who are now the King and Queen of Andalasia. The film will be available for streaming next Friday, November 18.
Based on original characters by Enchanted writer Bill Kelly, the sequel is directed by Adam Shankman. It features the return of the original cast including six-time Academy Award-nominated actress Amy Adams as the hopelessly romantic and eternally optimistic Giselle now married and living in Monroeville; Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy) as Giselle’s husband, the cynical pragmatist Robert Philip; James Marsden (X-Men) as the dashing but daft Prince Edward from Andalasia; and Idina Menzel (Frozen) as Nancy Tremaine, the former dressmaker now married to Prince Edward.
“Disenchanted features the much-anticipated return of Giselle, the princess from the fairy tale world of Andalasia banished to Manhattan who found her real Princess Charming in divorce lawyer Robert Philip,” says the synopsis. “15 years later, Giselle moves to the suburb of Monroeville with Robert and their teenage daughter Morgan, where she must juggle the challenges that come with a new home and discover what happily ever after truly means to her and her new family.”
They are joined by new cast members Maya Rudolph, Kolton Stewart, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays, and Oscar Nunez, while introducing Gabriella Baldacchino as Robert Philip’s now-grown daughter, Morgan.
The project has been in development since 2010 with Anne Fletcher previously attached to helm the film. The first film was directed by Kevin Lima and went on to a worldwide gross of over $340 million against a reported budget of $85 million. It was also well-received by critics and audiences, which earned the film two Golden Globe nominations including Best Actress for Amy Adams.
