From June 2021, Maleficent is no longer the only villain to shine in Disney’s live-action film, which offers a different perspective on one of the animated classics in the catalog.
Under the direction of Emma Stone and director Craig Gillespie, Cruella became a punk icon reminiscent of Harley Quinn (we learn that Margot Robbie was considered for the role, and we’re not too surprised). 101 Dalmatians in the form of a villain origin story that wasn’t really bad at first.
Despite a difficult situation during its worldwide theatrical release, Cruella has grossed $233.5 million worldwide as of June 2021 in France. Which is probably not enough for its production budget (125 million GEL) and promotion.
But the feature film was generally popular with both the press and the public, so much so that the question of a sequel quickly arose. And the answer was made back in August 2021 when Deadline revealed that Emma Stone had reached a deal with Disney to return for the second opus, which teased the first’s post-credits scene featuring Roger (Kaivan Novak), Anita (Kirby-Howell Baptiste) and Pongo the Dalmatians and Perdita. .
Prequel sequel or remake?
A little less than three years later, the project never materialized. But he is “in development”As Emma Stone said last January during her Golden Globe win thanks to Poor Creatures. And the actor hoped that the filming would take place soon.
With Kinds of Kindness, her third collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival, Emma Stone will likely have a chance to weigh in on the project, which currently has no release date or casting, except as Cruella’s translator. .
We also don’t know if Tony McNamara’s script (lovely, poor creatures) will continue the origin story or play the 101 Dalmatians remake card.
So don’t pull out the black and white fur coats right away and be patient. But remember that Cruella, whose first adventure airs on 6 Ter this Wednesday, April 17th, will be back soon. It remains to be seen when.
