Brandy Norwood has once again stepped into the role of Cinderella, putting on her iconic glass slippers for the highly anticipated Disney original movie, "Descendants: The Rise of Red". As a singer and actress, Brandy is excited to introduce a new generation to the first Black Disney princess in the fourth installment of the popular "Descendants" franchise.
After months of hard work, Brandy has completed filming for the upcoming fantasy musical. The story follows the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, Red, and the daughter of Cinderella and King Charming, Chloe, as they embark on a time-traveling adventure through the White Rabbit's pocketwatch to save their hometown of Auradon. However, their mission is not an easy one, as the two rivals must put aside their differences to stop the Queen of Hearts from carrying out her villainous plan against Cinderella's family.
For Brandy, reprising her role as Cinderella 27 years after her iconic performance in "Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" alongside Whitney Houston and Whoopi Goldberg, was a true "homecoming". In an interview with Essence, Brandy shared her excitement about stepping into Cinderella's glass slippers once again, saying, "Stepping into a new set of Cinderella's glass slippers after all these years feels like a true homecoming. I'm so thrilled to be a part of the next chapter for Auradon. I'm most excited about seeing the next generation step into these iconic roles."
One of those iconic roles is that of Ella, a younger version of Cinderella who is bitter about the daily chores she is assigned by her wicked stepmother. Actress Morgan Dudley takes on this role, and Brandy is excited for fans to see how she carries on the Cinderella legacy. "Morgan Dudley is an incredible talent, and I have no doubt she'll bring her magic to 'Ella'," Brandy shared. "It's been an honor to be a part of the Descendants legacy, and I can't wait for fans to see how the new story unfolds!"
Mark your calendars, because "Descendants: The Rise of Red" premieres on July 12 on Disney+, with an encore presentation on August 9 on the Disney Channel. Fans of Brandy, Disney, and the "Descendants" franchise won't want to miss this exciting new chapter in the story. And as a bonus, Brandy's fans can also look forward to her joint tour with Monica, as she recently announced on social media, apologizing for the previous misunderstanding about the tour. It's an exciting time for Brandy, and we can't wait to see her shine once again as Cinderella.
