It’s been more than five years sinceAnne Hathaway develops behind the scenes this third part of Princess Despite Herself but the project took a long time to be completed due to the disappearance of Garry Marshall and the scenario. At the start of the year during an interview, she reiterated her attachment to this saga to which she owes everything and promised news of the sequel soon.
Quid de Julie Andrews ?
Remains the case of Julie Andrews. The legendary actress (and eternal Mary Poppins) who played Queen Clarisse Rinaldi and Mia’s grandmother has not yet been announced for this sequel. If first she was willing to make a third film, the time and death of Garry Marshall have diminished his desire to participate over the years.
“It’s been quite a while now since both films were made and I’m not sure, but sometimes it’s better to leave a good thing aside. I don’t like it when things drag on and drag on until they don’t anymore. There have been discussions about this but nothing concrete has materialized. I think I might be wrong, but I believe the project has been shelved now. Personally, even if I would be very happy to make a third film, I don’t expect it to happen. »
The formalization ofAdele Lim upon completion and confirmed return ofAnne Hathaway could they change his mind? To be continued.
