In a new interview, he revealed that not only are Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey returning, but so are Idina Menzel and James Marsden.
“Amy Adams is in it, Patrick’s in it. Idina Menzel’s in it… Jimmy Marsden. They’re in it,” Alan said, before adding that the movie is the middle of filming right now.
Idina and James played Nancy Tremaine, and Prince Edward, in the original 2007 movie, who ended up getting married in the animated realm of Andalasia.
There’s no word yet if Susan Sarandon, who played Edward’s evil stepmother Narissa, will be back as well.
The first movie grossed over $340 million worldwide and received three Oscar nominations, all in the Best Song category for Alan and Stephen Schwartz‘s songs.
Disenchanted is slated for a Disney+ premiere.
Scott Porter is reflecting on feeling typecast at one point in his career.
The 41-year-old Ginny & Georgia actor opened up about his past roles in an episode of the Watch with Us podcast.
“For a little while, I was, like, the new James Marsden, and the fact that if you watch The Notebook or the Superman Returns movie — or any number of films for a little while — he was the good guy who does nothing wrong, but still never gets the girl,” Scott said. “I kind of did that a couple of times. I was like, ‘Oh, no, I’m that guy. I’m the nice guy who doesn’t ever get the girl!’”
However, Scott is still grateful for the variety of characters he’s gotten to play over the years on shows like Friday Night Lights, Parenthood, Hart of Dixie and The Good Wife.
“People were willing to give me opportunities to play different roles, and that’s something I was afforded for a very long time. And that’s something that a lot of people aren’t afforded; it’s not cool. It’s unfortunate,” he said.
Scott added, “[Ginny & Georgia] is created by women — not just for women, but to tell the stories of powerful women and powerful young girls and just allowing that story to be on full display. Talking with Brianne [Howey]. … She can do anything, she could play anything. And she just needs to be afforded that opportunity. And going forward, Tony [Antonia Gentry] and the rest of our young cast, like, I don’t believe that there’s anything they can’t do. So I want them to have that same opportunity. Those stories need to be told, they deserve to be told, and we have so many talented actors of different races and different genders.”
The actor said he’s “very aware” that he’s been lucky to be picky about the kind of roles he accepts.
“I’m fortunate that I never got pigeonholed 100 percent,” Scott shared. “Maybe I never played a role big enough, where somebody would only think of me in that role for the rest of my career. I tested for Captain America once upon a time, and I would have loved to have done that, but that’s a daunting challenge all on its own. So I’ve just been very fortunate. I think acting is a part of my life. It’s not all of my life. I think approaching it from that angle for me has also allowed me to kind of come in and out of projects that have different slices of who I am in them.”

James Marsden has announced the death of his family dog Buddy.
The 44-year-old Hairspray actor took to his Instagram on Tuesday (February 16) to pay tribute to his beloved dog while sharing a slideshow of photos with Buddy.
He was love. He was healing. He was the center of our little universe and our best friend,” James wrote. “Rest In Peace, our sweet Buddy, and we will meet again. ❤️”
Along with the photos of Buddy, James also shared throwback photos of his older kids Jack, now 20, and Mary, 15, with their beloved dog.
Over on his own Instagram, Jack paid tribute to Buddy with a sweet post.
“This is buddy, my first dog. When I was 8 I wanted a dog for Christmas because I was ready to take on that responsibility,” Jack wrote. “I just hoped that I was going to have a deep connection with him, and that he would feel the same way. And he did. Since the day he came into my life to the day he said goodbye, him and I grew up together, laughed together, played together, held each other, talked to each other, and much more.”
“I appreciate you more than I can even think of, and I thank you for all that you’ve done for me,” Jack continued. “I’ll never have another dog to take your place, because in the end, you were never truly just a dog. You were my best friend. I love you, I miss you, you’re always with me in my dreams and in my heart. And I will see you again❤️”
Our thoughts are with James Marsden and his family during this difficult time.
James Marsden revealed in an interview with James Corden that he had turned down a role in Channing Tatum‘s famous movie Magic Mike.
“I had fear I would be edited out of the movie,” the actor confessed. “Just all my lines would be cut out and I’d be an extra just rushing around in a g-string so I think it was a lack of courage on my part.”
He added that some of his friends and family, “they didn’t want to see me like that. I could have jumped in and had fun with that.”
