The fourth film in the Descendants franchise, Descendants: The Pocketwatch, will feature teen versions of classic characters like Aladdin and Jasmine.
The upcoming film Descendants: The Pocketwatch will include younger versions of beloved Disney characters, such as Jasmine, Aladdin, Hades, and Maleficent. The Descendants franchise began with the eponymous first film in 2015, which followed the teenage children of classic Disney villains. Two spinoff television miniseries also debuted in 2015 as part of the franchise.
