Alongside the first set photo of Adams and Shankman, Walt Disney Studios shared in a tweet: "Good morning! Amy Adams and @adammshankman here taking over @DisneyStudios for a bit. Wanted to get a few friends together to tell the story of what 'ever after' looks like…"

It was previously announced that the stars of the 2007 Oscar-nominated film -- Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden and Idina Menzel -- will return for the sequel to reprise their roles.

Adams famously played Giselle, a princess who finds herself lost in New York City, far from her home in the fictional land of Andalasia -- while Dempsey starred opposite the actress as the man she falls for, Robert. The sequel picks up with Gisele and Robert married, and their former partners, Nancy (Idina Menzel) and Prince Edward (James Marsden) also together.

The star-studded cast of "Disenchanted" also includes Maya Rudolph, Kolton Stewart, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays and Oscar Nunez.
