Amy Adamsis ready to explore a different side ofPrincess GiselleinDisenchanted.
A new behind-the-scenes featurette about the film, shared exclusively with PEOPLE, showcases footage from the sequel to 2007’sEnchantedand interviews with Adams and costarsPatrick Dempsey,James MarsdenandMaya Rudolph, plus director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) and producer Barry Josephson.
“The beating heart ofEnchantedis Giselle,” Shankman says in the video. “Giselle is joy, Giselle is heart — and that is all because of Amy.”
Adams, for her part, says she feels “very connected” to Giselle, whom she first portrayed 15 years ago as a cartoon princess thrust into real-world New York City after being pushed down a well.
“So they’ve moved to suburbia, and it all goes horribly wrong,” Dempsey, 56, says.

“Giselle makes a wish and turns real life into the fairy-tale world,” Marsden says, with Adams noting: “Be careful what you wish for.”
The video also teases Rudolph’s “delicious” villain Malvina Monroe, a local real-estate agent who turns bad after Giselle’s spell goes wrong.

“As a little girl, I wanted to be a princess,” Rudolph, 50, says. “But then you grow up and you realize, ‘Oh, the villain’s really juicy.’ "
Giselle’s wish-gone-wrong results in her taking on the “evil stepmother” role under a curse, which Shankman says provides a “whole new side” to the character. “It was really fun to explore the different part of her,” Adams says. “I like to call it wicked.”
“This film takes you on a wonderful, adventurous ride and really captures the magic of the original film,” she adds.
Disenchanteddebuts Nov. 18 on Disney+.
