As people know,The Princess Diarieswas confirmed to be returning with a third movie soon, and Hathaway’s original co-star Julie Andrews’ return is still shrouded in uncertainty.

Zendaya to turn into a Disney princess
Industry insider Daniel RPK claimed in his Patreon channel that the third installment ofPrincess Diarieswill introduceAnne Hathaway‘s Mia Thermopolis as the Queen of Genovia. Now although it is still a mystery whether the ascension of the new Queen would mean a tragic end of the previous one, what can be said for sure is it surely opens up a new position for a princess. And according to RPK, this new character is expected to be biracial.
As a result, Disney allegedly is looking intoZendayafor the role. It should be mentioned that Zendaya’s career started with Disney years back. However, it is still unknown if there have been any talks about this among the parties involved already. Incidentally, an alleged Disney+ spin-off of the franchise was planned some years back and was expected to center around Mia Thermopolis’ half-sister, a character yet unintroduced in the movies.
As a result, it is hard to say if the movie will pull some materials from the shelves spin-off or if Zendaya truly would feature in the movie as no official confirmations have yet been made. The only thing yet confirmed about it is Aadrita Mukherji writing the screenplay, and with Garry Marshall’s death, a search for a new director to take the project under their wings is underway.
