Dove Cameron<\/a> and Sofia Carson as the children of the most iconic Disney villains. <\/p>\nNow the setting of the film has been moved on to a few years down the line, with Kylie saying she\u2019s hoping that her role will help inspire other young acting hopefuls. <\/p>\n
She said: \u201c[It\u2019s my chance to] fulfill that dream and hopefully inspire the next gen of performers and actors.”<\/p>\n
\nIt was when Kylie first watched The Descendants when it was released as a Disney Channel Original movie in 2005 that she began her dream of starring in the franchise as a \u2018VK\u2019 – the abbreviation given to the \u2018villain kids\u2019. <\/p>\n
\nShe grinned: \u201cI, myself, was the biggest\u00a0Descendants\u00a0fan growing up. I remember literally watching it that Friday when it premiered \u2026 <\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe second that [the song] Rotten to the Core came on screen, I was like, ‘I’m in. I want to be a VK!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\nKylie stars alongside Malia Baker in the film, with the latter taking on the role of Brandy\u2019s character Cinderella\u2019s daughter, Chloe Charming.<\/p>\n
\nAnd Malia agreed with Kylie\u2019s comments about wanting to inspire young stars – especially after seeing \u201cthe little dolls or the little Halloween costumes\u201d of her character. <\/p>\n
\nShe added to People: \u201cWhen you see it impact another little girl, especially in such a drastic way \u2014 where they\u2019re wanting to look like you or wanting to literally sing the songs that you sing in a movie.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think it\u2019s really a magical experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe main cast members of Wicked Wonderland are completed by Liamani Segura, who plays Red\u2019s younger sister Pink in the film. <\/p>\n
\nThe 17-year-old added: “Knowing that we\u2019re gonna be a part of the kids\u2019 childhoods just means everything to me.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a blessing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Descendants: Wicked Wonderland will initially debut on the Disney Channel on July 16, before it premieres on Disney+ the following day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
