‘Descendants’ star Kylie Cantrall opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about working alongside her childhood hero Brandy and why Rita Ora is the ‘big sister’ she never had
There are so many reasons Kylie Cantrall is excited to be the lead in Disney's Descendants: The Rise of Red — but nothing beats the “insane” fact that she got to work alongside her childhood hero, Brandy.
Rise of Red serves as the fourth film — and newest chapter — of the Descendants franchise. Cantrall stars as Red, the rebellious daughter of the Queen of Hearts , while Brandy plays the iconic Cinderella. The film follows Red as she and Cinderella’s daughter, Chloe , travel back in time in an attempt to undo the traumatic event that led the Queen of Hearts down a villainous path — and ended her years-long friendship with Cinderella.
Cantrall, as an upcoming singer and artist herself, also looked to Ora for advice, which the 'Don't Think Twice' singer was happy to share. “It feels surreal, especially because of the fact that I grew up loving the franchise. Like I caught it in its prime.I’m pretty sure I didn't even know how to multiply, but I was just so obsessed,” she quipped. “I vividly remember coming home from school running across to my neighbor's house and us both just like sitting in front of the TV the day that it premiered for the first time. And just being in awe of the dance numbers and the costumes and just the lore of Descendants.
“I think like I've kind of shifted my mindset and of looking at it more as, we're carrying it on in a new way, telling a new story while still capturing the essence of what made the original so special,” she explained.
