'Descendants: The Rise of Red' marks the first live-action film in Disney's next generation villains franchise in five years — and the first installment without Cameron Boyce. Boyce, who died in July 2019, starred as Carlos, the son of Cruella de Vil, in 2015's 'Descendants.' He reprised that role in two subsequent films, including 'Descendants 3,' which premiered just months after his death.
The original 'Descendants' film focused on Carlos and his friends Mal , Evie and Jay — the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen from 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and Jafar, respectively — as they attempt to end prejudice between the kids of heroes and the kids of villains. A prologue to the 2024 film reveals that Mal, Jay and Evie are 'on a new adventure, forming alliances with distant lands,' explaining the other original actors' absences.
