- Disney announced Friday morning that it is expanding the Descendants franchise with a new film titled "Hidden Heroes: A Descendants Story"
- Hidden Heroes will follow the offspring of sidekicks from Disney films including Aladdin and Emperor's New Groove
- Production on Hidden Heroes is set to begin next week, per the Friday announcement
- Dior G. [source content truncated here] is among the announced cast members for the new film
Why it matters: Disney taps a fresh lineage within its already multi-film Descendants mythology — the sidekicks' kids — giving the franchise a new character pool rather than recycling its villain-kids premise.
