Two new character posters for Descendants: The Rise of Red, as well as a first look at Rita Ora as the Queen of Hearts, have been released.
What’s Happening:
- The two new character posters feature Kylie Cantrall as the lead character, Red, princess of the hostile kingdom of Wonderland and Auradon’s newest Villain Kid (aka VK).
- She gets caught “red-handed” by Malia Baker, who plays Chloe, the daughter of Cinderella and King Charming, and the focus of the second poster.
- The official Descendants Instagram account also shared a first look at Rita Ora in her fabulous costume as the Queen of Hearts.
- Along with Ora, they also shared some behind-the-scenes photos which you can see below.
- Descendants: The Rise of Red follows Red, the rebellious daughter of the Queen of Hearts, and Chloe, Cinderella’s perfectionist daughter. When the tyrannical Queen of Hearts incites a coup against Auradon, polar opposites Red and Chloe must join forces and travel back in time to undo the traumatic event that set Red’s mother down her villainous path.
