Some real punk-rock Disney energy is about to come your way … in about a year and a half. (Sorry, Glenn Close.) The first-look image of Emma Stone as Cruella de Vil was unveiled at Disney’s D23 expo on Saturday afternoon, with the actress set to take on the iconic, wigged-out 101 Dalmatians villain in Cruella. Specifically, it’ll serve as a live-action prequel that dives into her alluring backstory. (Or, in the words of Disney film group president Sean Bailey, “It’s her backstory. How did she get this way?”) While Stone wasn’t able to appear in person to tease the film, she sent in a brief video message. “I’m here on our first day of shooting Cruella,” she said. “It’s 1970 and set in London, and it’s punk rock.” The film will be released on May 28, 2021, and will also star Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, and Walter Hauser. Dogs, beware!
