TRENDING

Descendants 2 is almost here! We’ve been counting down the seconds for the premiere, practically since the first film ended. When we left off, shy guy Carlos was gaining major confidence after standing up to his mom (Cruella De Vil) and getting over his fear of dogs.

We chatted with star Cameron Boyce on set, who told us about what Carlos is up to in D2—and you'll never guess what he said about Jane (Brenna D'Amico)!

On the romance between Carlos and Jane
"Now that Carlos has been in Auradon for a minute, he's starting to explore things that he never had time to think about on the Isle because he’s always had to protect himself. He’s sort of blossoming everywhere else, except in his relationship with Jane. He has trouble finding the confidence to ask her out!"

On finding confidence
"Finding confidence is never fairytale. A lot of people struggle with confidence and it can be nerve-wracking, but you just have to trust that you’re good enough. Carlos sort of struggles with that, but he realizes throughout the movie that he’s good enough." 

On his fave musical moment in the movie
"'You and Me' is basically a celebration of accepting all of your sides and rough edges! Even if you end up somewhere other than where you started, you can't forget where you came from. We have a nice moment in this number where the four VKs come together and stare off to the Isle of the Lost thinking about how we all took the Isle for granted when we got this amazing opportunity to come to Auradon, and it’s a lot of reflecting on that."

On the film’s message
"I think this one and the first one go hand in hand because the first one was taking the idea of being able to realize who you are really supposed to be and this one added onto that by saying 'OK, we know who you’re supposed to be, but how can be get better?' The message of this one just adds on the message of the first one.”

On why you should tune in
"The movie is self-reflecting, bigger and joyous. It’s going to be a crazy movie and one of the biggest TV movies ever hopefully!” 

Catch Cameron in Descendants 2 premiering Friday, July 21 at 8 p.m. EST on Disney Channel.
