With production commencing before the end of the year, Cruella is expected to be Disney's Christmas hit for the 2020 holiday season. Following Mary Poppins Returns and the Star Wars sequels before it, Cruella will be be seeing Emma Stone as the titular 101 Dalmations antagonist. Joining her for the ride? Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson.

Though it is unspecified who the actress is playing, in addition to the time period the film takes place, it is clear that Thompson will play a major character opposite that of Emma Stone. Directed by I, Tonya's Craig Gillespie, one should expect a intriguing character study with the talented team involved.

Disney's gone too far. It's one thing to turn all their animated films into live action movies, but to do a series of films based off villains promo is something else!

I just can't see anything appealing about character that made a name for herself by skinning animals? I may root for many antagonists but certailny not this one.

@StaffordR - good point.
