Cruella 2: Emma Stone provides latest update on the Disney villain and the movie

In a recent interview with Variety, Academy Award winner Emma Stone provided an eagerly awaited update on the development of Cruella 2, the sequel to the 2021 prequel that delves into the early years of the infamous Disney villain Cruella de Vil. Stone, who brilliantly portrays the rebellious character, revealed that the sequel is currently "a work in progress," expressing her enthusiasm to reprise the iconic role.

During the interview, Stone was asked about the timeline for Cruella 2, to which she responded, "You tell me. Hopefully sooner, rather than later. There's a work in progress kind of thing going on. Yeah, yeah. We'll see... She's a blast, so we'll see." This cryptic yet exciting update leaves fans eagerly anticipating further details about the continuation of Cruella's story.

Meanwhile, Emma Stone finds herself in the spotlight once again, with predictions placing her as a favorite to receive her fourth Academy Award nomination for her role in the acclaimed twisted sci-fi black comedy, "Poor Things." Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and based on the novel by Alasdair Gray, Stone leads the film as Bella Baxter, a young Victorian woman resurrected by a mad scientist in a bizarre tale of science fiction and dark comedy.


The last substantial update on Cruella 2 came from star Paul Walter Hauser, who, in an interview with Forbes last year, optimistically indicated that the sequel would begin filming in 2023. Although the timeline may not have materialized as predicted, Hauser emphasized the dedication of writer Tony McNamara, currently working on the script. He acknowledged the busy schedules of director Craig Gillespie and star Emma Stone, factors that could potentially influence the production timeline.

Emma Stone, having signed on to reprise her role, played a pivotal part in the success of the first Cruella film. The initial installment, set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, explores the rebellious early days of Cruella, originally known as Estella. The film follows Estella's journey from a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself to the emergence of Cruella, a raucous, fashionable, and revenge-bent character.
