Following its debut trailer, Disney has now published a “sneak peek” video for its upcoming 101 Dalmations spin-off, Cruella, which stars Emma Stone as the evil and fashionable villain.
Set in the 1970s London, Cruella tells the origin story of the Disney villain, picking up when she was a creative and inspired young fashion designer named Estella. Her creations catch the eye of the Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson) and things go badly, which is when Estella becomes Cruella.
Cruella is directed by I Tonya’s Craig Gillespie and includes Glenn Close–who played Cruella in the live-action 101 Dalmatians movies–as an executive producer. Costumes are obviously very important for Cruella, and Disney hired Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (Mad Max: Fury Road) to work on Cruella.
The film also features Mark Strong (Kingsman), Paul Walter Hauser (I, Tonya), Emily Beecham (Outside the Wire), Joel Fry (Yesterday), and more. The script was written by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara, and Aline Brosh McKenna, Kelly Marcel, and Steve Zissis.
Cruella is slated to arrive in May, but we don’t know yet if it will be in theaters or on Disney+, or potentially both.
