Disney's Descendants franchise could have starred Zendaya. Cornelia Frame, former Vice President of Casting and Talent Relations at Disney Channel, recently shared that the Spider-Man: Homecoming star auditioned multiple times for a role in the fan-favorite Disney movie.
"Zendaya did audition many times for Descendants, and that was a big deal," Frame revealed during an interview on the Magical Rewind podcast (via Deadline). "It was a really big deal. She auditioned over and over and really wanted it. It just ended up not going her way." While Frame didn't disclose which role Zendaya auditioned for, she likely tried out for either Mal, daughter of Maleficent, or Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen, which ultimately went to Dove Cameron and Sofia Carson, respectively. "[Zendaya] put so much effort and so much work into it, too. Its just one of those things," the former Disney exec added.

The Shrek franchise has explored beloved fairytales that most audiences know and love, but as it turns out, the ogre himself is also based on a story, though not many have actually heard of it before. Shrek is a Dreamworks animated film following an antisocial ogre who goes on a quest to save a princess with the help of a talkative donkey. The 2001 film became a franchise with four films in total and two spin-offs.
Among the many eccentric characters in Shrek there are those who are recognizable as treasured fairytale characters, although they are not always as sweet as they appeared in childhood stories. For example, Shrek 2's Fairy Godmother isn't very generous, and The Gingerbread Man plays roles both small and large in this world of storybook creatures. However, when it comes to Shrek's protagonist, the leading ogre is very similar to how he was originally depicted by William Steig.
