David Bukach / ©Disney Channel / courtesy Everett Collection In 2019, Dove told Hollywood Life , "What happened was so incredibly heart wrenching for all of us and something we could not recover from. And so, I think that the idea of making another movie while it would be nostalgic for all of us, and while it would be healing in a lot of ways, it might also be super wrong.
So it could go either way, and it depends on how we're all feeling and I think that the beautiful thing that Disney has done is that they have very much created a safe space for the cast to be wherever they're at. They canceled everything when Cameron passed, and I know they want what's in all of our best interests, so we'll see. I doubt it, but we'll see.
" Then, in 2022, she told PopBuzz , "I'm gonna say no [to a reboot], because I don't think it would be the same without the whole original cast. It would just be different now, and also, we did it. We told a full story.
We completed it." However, in 2021, Dove, Sofia, and Booboo reprised their roles in the animated special Descendants: The Royal Wedding . Then, rather than make Descendants 4 , Disney made a spin-off.
Descendants: The Rise of Red honors Cameron's memory with a sweet, poignant moment between two returning characters. Disney+ As she's setting up her new office, movers hang a portrait of Carlos, Cameron's character. Disney+ Uma tells Fairy Godmother, the previous principal, about how she became friends with Queen Mal and King Ben, who later took down the barrier that prevented all of the villains from leaving the Isle of the Lost.
Disney+ Disney+ Since opening the Isle of the Lost began with inviting four Villian Kids to Aurodon Prep, Uma gives Fairy Godmother an invitation for Princess Red, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, to attend. Disney+ Uma stands firm in her decision to invite Red in honor of Carlos. Disney+ Fairy Godmother — whose daughter, Jane, was Carlos's love interest — silently agrees.

com China told People , "I was apprehensive to revisit the Descendants world at first, because losing Cam was the first heartbreak I've ever experienced. But once I saw how excited the new generation of kids were, it reminded me of myself when we created the original films." Monica Schipper / Getty Images "Everything came together beautifully.
There's one scene that is very special to me, I'm sure the audience will be able to guess which one it is once they see the movie. Stepping back into Uma was very fulfilling and healing for me," she said. Previously, Descendents: The Royal Wedding also honored Cameron in a touching scene.
