Emma Stone is Cruella in the trailer for Disney’s new live-action movie

Cruella tells the tale of a young Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians. Emma Stone stars as Cruella.

“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.

The film also stars Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks) as the Baroness, Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry as Cruella’s henchmen Jasper and Horace, Emily Beecham (Into The Badlands) as Anita, Mark Strong (Shazam!) as the Baron, and Killing Eve star Kirby Howell-Baptiste in a currently unknown role.

Directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya), Cruella is due out on 28th May 2021.
