Emma Stone showed her sinister side in Disney’s Cruella.
Disney revealed the first look at the actress as the iconic 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella de Vil during the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.
Emma Stone, 30, sports de Vil’s signature two-toned hairstyle and wears dark eye makeup and a red lip. She is holding three Dalmatians in the photo, and costars Joel Fry and Paul Walter Hauser can be seen in the background.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Stone revealed that Cruella will be a “punk rock” live-action origin story for the classic villain, taking place in 1970’s London.
Also starring Emma Thompson, the film is directed by Tonya director Craig Gillespie.
The movie will be based on villain-focused Disney retelling. The studio got huge success with 2014’s Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie, who reprised the role for this fall’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil sequel.
Stone is the second actress who is playing the role of Cruella de Vil for the big screen. Earlier, Glenn Close played her in the 1996 101 Dalmatians adaptation and its 2000 sequel 102 Dalmatians.
Cruella De Vil is infamously obsessed over making coats from the Dalmatian puppies. And the new film will get into the origins of her dog-loathing actions.
Disney also confirmed that Emma Thompson will star in the film, but did not disclose what role the actress would play.
She has previously collaborated with Disney on another live-action retelling — 2017’s Beauty and the Beast, where she played Mrs. Potts. And she was also featured as real-life Mary Poppins in Disney’s 2013 movie Saving Mr. Banks.
Cruella is set to hit theaters on May 28, 2021. And fans are waiting anxiously for the movie to come out!
