Following the trailer reveal earlier today, Disney has released the first batch of official stills from Cruella. These nicely showcase the movie's costumes and unique style, with Emma Stone and an unrecognisable Emma Thompson front and centre. Whether we watch it in theaters or on Disney+, "Disney's Joker," as it's become known on Twitter, could be one of 2021's most enjoyable releases.
Cruella follows the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious, and notoriously fashionable, villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. Set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, the movie focuses on a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets.
One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by two-time Oscar winner Emma Thompson. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.
Cruella is directed by Craig Gillespie (I Tonya) and produced by Andrew Gunn (Freaky Friday), Marc Platt (Mary Poppins Returns), and Kristin Burr (Christopher Robin), with Emma Stone and Michelle Wright (Baby Driver) serving as executive producers. Two-time Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (Mad Max: Fury Road) creates the movie's colourful, unique costumes.
The movie will be released on May 28th, and you can check out these new stills in the Tweet below:
