Emma Stone is Cruella de Vil in first trailer for Disney’s live-action Cruella

February 17, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Disney has debuted the first trailer and a new poster for Cruella, the live-action 101 Dalmatians prequel movie from director Craig Gillespie which stars Emma Stone as the future Disney villain Cruella de Vil and tells the story of her rebellious early days, trying to make a name for herself as a fashion designer in 1970s London; check out the trailer below…

Academy Award® winner Emma Stone (“La La Land”) stars in Disney’s Cruella, an all-new live-action feature film about the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. Cruella, which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by two-time Oscar® winner Emma Thompson (“Howards End,” “Sense & Sensibility”). But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.

Cruella is directed by I, Tonya helmer Craig Gillespie, and is set for release by Disney 0n May 28th. Featuring in the cast alongside Emma Stone are Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility), Paul Walter Hauser (I, Tonya), Joel Fry (Game of Thrones), Emily Beecham (Into the Badlands), Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Killing Eve), and Mark Strong (Shazam!).
