AT the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, the United States on Saturday, Disney revealed a first look at Emma Stone in character as Cruella de Vil in “Cruella,” a live-action interpretation of the villain from 1961’s “101 Dalmatians.”

The film, helmed by “I, Tonya” director Craig Gillespie, also stars Emma Thompson. In Disney’s tweet sharing the photo, Stone appears with Cruella’s signature two-shade hair color, accompanied by several Dalmatian dogs. Her henchmen stand in the background.

The film is billed as an origin story set in the 1980s, following a young, punk-ish Cruella de Vil. The character, known for kidnapping puppies to use their fur to make luxury coats, was last portrayed on the big screen by Glenn Close in the 1996 adaptation of “101 Dalmatians.”

Disney confirmed that “Cruella” is set for release May 28, 2021. (SD-Agencies)
