The expanding universe
In February 2022, Bob Chapek, the company’s CEO at the time, stated thisEnchantment it wouldn’t just be a simple film, but it would make a mark the beginning of a franchise, without formalizing a sequel. Since he was replaced by Bob Iger, the idea of launching a real universe around the feature film is still relevant, if we are to believe the recent statements of the film’s producer.
So, during an interview with The directon the occasion of the release of the short film Once upon a time there was a studio on Disney+, the maker ofEnchantmentYvett Merino, commented on the possibility of returning to the colorful universe of the film soon, and confirmed that the team is still working on it:
We will continue to work on what this actually means. But we are so blown away by the response and how “Encanto” has touched so many people. We keep thinking of different ways to keep the world alive. I know they’ve been teasing Encanto’s return to D23 a bit, maybe in one of the theme parks. And we love it…
Thereby, Enchantment could make its return not on screens, but through a possible attraction for Disneyland parks. In any case, the producer went on to admit that at the moment there is still nothing official regarding a sequel Enchantment :
We work closely with our friends in publishing and consumer products to make sure there are always different ideas, needs and wants, to keep them alive. I don’t have anything official to say, but I love the “Encanto” world and can’t wait to see it grow throughout the company.
Since Disney is expanding its universes both on the big screen and on Disney+, we might as well find the characters ofEnchantment into a series (why not a prequel about Bruno?).
