China Anne McClain Says ‘Descendants: The Rise Of Red’ “Would’ve Meant A Lot” To Cameron Boyce
'Descendants: Rise of the Red' star China Anne McClain reflected on her friend and former co-star, the late Cameron Boyce.
The actress, who reprises her role as Uma (now as principal of Auradon Prep), said the making of the fourth installment — released earlier this summer on Disney+ and marking the first film to not feature Boyce — reminded her of shooting the first Descendants. Speaking previously to the outlet in May, McClain said she was initially hesitant about returning to the role without Boyce, who died in July 2019 at the age of 20 after an epileptic seizure. As previously reported by Deadline in an exclusive, The Rise of Red broke a record, becoming the most-viewed Disney Channel original movie premiere ever on the streamer in its first three days of release.
