Brandy and Paolo Montalban are set to reprise their roles as Cinderella and Christopher, respectively, in an upcoming Disney+ film.
On Wednesday, Disney+ announced the news via a video on Instagram.
In the short clip, the African American singer-songwriter, 44, and the Filipino American actor, 49, can be seen posing for pictures while wearing regal costumes.

The pair, who first acted together in Disney’s 1997 film “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” will be featured in the upcoming movie “Descendants: The Rise of Red” as Cinderella and King Charming, the parents of a character named Chloe.
The fourth film of the “Descendants” franchise “takes audiences through the rabbit hole to the hostile unincorporated territory of [Alice’s] Wonderland,” according to Disney.

The film 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.

This is not the first time Brandy and Montalban have reunited since their “Cinderella” days.
On Dec. 26, 2021, Montalban posted a video and a selfie of him and Brandy that were taken during their first reunion in 24 years.
