New Disney movie Disenchanted has wrapped filming in Ireland after stars Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey and Maya Rudolph spent time shooting in and around Wicklow and Dublin.

Taking to Instagram, the film's director Adam Shankman revealed that the movie, the sequel to 2017’s Enchanted, has completed production here.

Sharing a picture of himself and Adams, he wrote, "Myself and Giselle…errrr….@amyadams would just like to say: And that’s a wrap. #Disenchanted Coming to you in #2022"

In Enchanted, Amy Adams’ character, an animated maiden named Giselle, is transported from the fairytale land of Andalasia to real world of New York City where she meets and falls in love with a lawyer Robert Phillip (Dempsey).

The new movie is set a decade after the first movie and sees Giselle questioning her happiness with her new life, leading to some drastic changes in both the real world and Andalasia.

Disenchanted filmed in the picturesque villages of Enniskerry, which was turned into a fairytale village, and Greystones in Co Wicklow, with Adams and Dempsey spending the past few months here.

Last week, Adams visited the Book of Kells in Trinity College Dublin during a break from filming.

Former Grey's Anatomy actor Dempsey shared many of his Irish adventures on Instagram, including a visit to Dalkey Island, while his co-star Rudolph visited a restaurant in Dublin city centre where she left staff a sweet note and took a sightseeing trip around Howth on Ireland's Eye Ferries with her family.

During filming in Ireland, cast members James Marsden of Westworld and Frozen star Idina Menzel were also spotted.
