Along with Stone as Cruella de Vil, the movie will star Emma Thompson, Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry, according to a Disney tweet that noted the movie is slated to hit theaters on May 28, 2021.
The live-action “Cruella” is inspired by the animated “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” from 1961, in which Cruella is a fur-obsessed maniac hellbent on making a coat out of the Dalmatian puppies. The new film will follow in the footsteps of Disney’s 2014 “Maleficient” ― which starred Angelina Jolie as the evil fairy from “Sleeping Beauty” ― in focusing on an origin story for one of the franchise’s villains.
“Cruella,” directed by Craig Gillespie of “I, Tonya” acclaim, will have a “punk vibe,” The Hollywood Reporter noted last year.
