When does Descendants 3 come out? After waiting for ages for an official release date, the movie finally premiered on Friday, August 2 in the United States of America on Disney Channel. When Disney confirmed the release of the film this year, they marked the occasion with the version of the movie's opening song known as 'Good To Be Bad.' For Descendants 3 full movie, the release was slightly later than the first two movies as they were both launched in late July.
Descendant 3 plot
Wondering what Disney Descendants 3 is all about? Here is an overview of the movie. After a classic encounter involving Mal and Uma as a huge octopus and a dragon correspondingly, Descendants 2 came to an end with Ben and Mal reuniting and Uma going for a dip. Mal gave her spellbook to the Fairy Godmother, and Dizzy accepted a bid to attend Auradon Prep with everybody else.
Back in Auradon, Audrey, using a sleeping spell attacks everyone at Jane's birthday. Chad submissively supports Audrey while Jane hides in the charmed lake. As the whole kingdom falls under Audrey's spell, she promises to reverse it if Ben will agree to marry her. Ben, however, turns down the offer, so she turns him into a beast and begins turning people to stone.
Uma and Mal are vying for the leadership of the VKs. They return to Auradon with their friends. Uma discovers Audrey's journal and finds out that she devotes much time at Fairy Cottage, a contribution for which Mal thanks her. Evie, afraid to show her feelings for Doug, wakes him with a kiss. Carlos calms Ben, who is still in a monster form until Jane reinstates him with lake water. As Uma and Mal are softening towards each other, Audrey holds them hostage in Evie's house. Luckily, they succeed in reversing the spell by merging their magic, and the kids reunite there.
At the Fairy Cottage, the kids find Chad who is shell-shocked. Mal admits that she plans to seal off the Isle permanently and the group implodes. Celia, learning that she can never see her dad again, throws the ember in a birdbath and Harry and Uma leave.
After Evie tells Mal how angry she is for lying to her and their friends, they are suddenly turned into stone apart from Mal. Audrey captures Celia and takes her hostage. She also attacks Mal, who changes into her dragon form. Mal can overcome Audrey, who falls comatose, and the curses are finally lifted.
The glowing coal could restore Audrey, but only Hade has it. Ben promises to look for him, while Gil, Celia, Uma and Harry plan to return to the island. Mal apologizes for telling lies. Her friends and former enemies forgive her as they understood that she was trying to do the right thing. Hade finally arrives and revives Audrey but disagrees with the double standard by which Audrey is easily forgiven and not considered a villain. Ben and Mal ask for forgiveness from Audrey, and in a retort, Audrey and Leah express regret to Mal.
Mal openly admits that she cannot be the Empress of Auradon unless she governs over Isle too. With Ben and the Pixie Godmother's promise, Mal eliminates the hurdle and makes a bridge. The people of the recently combined society make merry. Additionally, Carlos and Jane officiate their relationship. Mal and Ben are affianced, and Audrey has a soft spot for Harry after Uma turns him down. In the mid-credits scene, Jay, Carlos, Mal and Evie are seen looking at the Isle of the Lost, then racing across the bridge to their parents.
Will there be any new villains?
Details on additional details on the cast have not been made public yet, but looking at the teaser, it seems like viewers will get to see Mal's father. One confirmed villain will be among the cast. Cheyenne Jackson will be playing the role of Hades (the ruler of the Underworld from Hercules) in the movie. Cheyenne has made appearances on Broadway in shows like The Performers, Finian's Rainbow, Xanadu, All Shook Up, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Aida, according to Playbill. On TV, he's appeared on American Horror Story.
