Descendants 5 (2026) The Tearful Farewell to Carlos That Left Fans in Tears!

Descendants 5 is expected to continue honoring the legacy of Cameron Boyce, who portrayed Carlos De Vil, following the heartfelt tributes in The Rise of Red. Carlos’ absence was deeply felt, especially in The Royal Wedding special, where Mal mentions missing him during her wedding. The movie also pays tribute to Boyce with a touching dedication before the credits roll. In The Rise of Red, Carlos' death is subtly referenced without explanation, but his legacy is acknowledged through characters like Uma and the Fairy Godmother, who discuss how Carlos would have supported bringing more Villain Kids (VKs) to Auradon. Fans were moved by these nods to Carlos' character and are eager to see how the upcoming film will further address his absence.

Theories about Descendants 5 suggest that Carlos’ legacy could be honored in various ways. One possibility is that Carlos will be given a special mission or mystical journey, allowing him to be remembered as an adventurer rather than focusing on his death. Fans also speculate that Carlos' tech expertise could play a role in fixing the timeline disrupted by Red and Chloe, possibly through time travel. Others believe Carlos' influence may appear through magical moments or flashbacks, where his spirit guides the VKs on their journey. Mal’s personal grief over losing Carlos could also be a key emotional arc, with her learning to lead Auradon while reflecting on the values Carlos embodied, such as loyalty and courage.
