Descendants 3

Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos visit the Isle to pick four new VKs for Auradon. They choose Dizzy, Celia, Squeaky, and Squirmy, marking a fresh attempt to blend villainy with heroism. The selection kicks off a chain of events that bridge the two worlds.

On the day the VKs are chosen, Ben, the king of Auradon, declares his love for Mal and proposes. Mal accepts, tying their futures together and intensifying the stakes for both realms. The engagement raises tensions with Audrey and the old guard.

Audrey seethes with jealousy as Mal’s engagement becomes public. Queen Leah admonishes Audrey for failing to secure the family legacy by marrying Ben, underscoring the pressure to uphold Auradon’s throne. The moment reveals the fragile balance of power and romance in the kingdom.

As the older VKs return to Auradon with the newbies, Hades attempts to break through the Isle's barrier. Mal confronts him and manages to stop the breach, though she pays a price by growing weaker in the process. Her sacrifice underscores her commitment to protecting Auradon.

Audrey steals the Queen's crown and Maleficent's scepter from the museum, gaining powerful magical abilities. The act marks a decisive turn toward villainy and sets Audrey on a path to seize control over Auradon. Her theft destabilizes the royal order and escalates the conflict.

In response to the rising threats, Mal suggests sealing the Isle's barrier forever to protect Auradon. The plan reflects her desire to shield both worlds, but it risks severing ties with the VKs still living on the Isle. The suggestion sparks debate among the leaders about future unity.

Audrey curses Mal with Maleficent's scepter, turning her into an old woman to weaken her. Mal and the VKs decide to pursue Hades' ember, the only artifact capable of breaking the curse. Their mission takes them back toward the Isle in hopes of reclaiming their power.

Mal is freed from the curse on the Isle, where dark magic is barred, and Celia guides her into Hades' lair. Hades initially thwarts their attempt to steal the ember, then reveals himself as Mal's absentee father and reluctantly agrees to give her the ember with warnings about its limits, especially near water.

As the group exits the Isle, Uma, Gil, and Harry intercept but decide to help after Mal deceptively promises to release all the children from the Isle. This uneasy alliance signals a shift in VK leadership and broadens the coalition against Audrey.

Back in Auradon, Audrey crashes Jane’s birthday party with a sleeping curse, plunging the kingdom into chaos. Chad sides with Audrey while Jane escapes into the enchanted lake to seek safety and salvation. The party is transformed into a battleground of magic and intrigue.

Audrey's curse spreads further as Ben is transformed into a beast and others begin to turn to stone. Mal and Uma return with friends to confront Audrey; Carlos calms Ben after removing a splinter, and Jane restores him to human form with enchanted lake water. The rescue restores hope and shifts the balance of power back toward the heroes.

Audrey is defeated and the ember is used to revive her by Hades, who condemns the double standard that forgives non-villains. Mal convinces Hades to employ the ember to heal Audrey, and she suggests replacing the Isle’s barrier with a bridge to unite the two realms. The plan marks a turning point toward a blended future for Auradon and the Isle.

With the barrier replaced by a bridge, Mal and Ben become engaged, Evie and Doug are together, Carlos and Jane are a couple, and Jay and Gil plan to travel the world. Audrey unexpectedly bonds with Harry after Uma rejects him, hinting at new, complicated romantic dynamics. The two realms celebrate their new unity and shared future.

In a mid-credits scene, Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos race across the bridge to the Isle to reunite with their parents. The moment reinforces the newly formed alliance and the continuing ties between both realms. It hints at more adventures as the worlds grow closer.
