Disney approved the sequel soon after the first movie did well. The first movie earned over $220 million worldwide and received positive reviews. However, the script is still being worked on and production has not begun. Fans are eagerly anticipating more information about Cruella’s story continuing.
The Good news is that Emma Stone is coming back for the sequel. She will play Estella Miller, who becomes Cruella de Vil. She will be joined by the first movie’s director Craig Gillespie and writer Tony McNamara, who are both set to return for the sequel. Gillespie has expressed his enthusiasm for working with Stone again, saying that he had “such a great time” making the first movie with her.
McNamara also co-wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay for ‘The Favourite’. He hinted that the sequel will explore different aspects of Cruella’s character. It will also push the boundaries of her story.
But what can we expect from the plot of ‘Cruella 2’? The first movie was a prequel to “101 Dalmatians.” It told the story of Cruella before the events of the original movie. It focused on how she became infamous in the fashion scene in 1970s London.
The sequel might show more of Cruella’s crimes, like kidnapping and skinning Dalmatians for fur coats. But it’s more likely that the sequel will have new stories. It won’t retell things the audience already knows. For example, it might show how Cruella deals with the consequences of her actions. Or how she interacts with other Disney characters. Or how she becomes the modern version of herself.
The production of ‘Cruella 2’ might have difficulties because of the Hollywood strikes in 2023. These strikes affected many workers in the film and TV industry. They lasted several months and caused disruptions and delays in many projects, including ‘Cruella 2’. We don’t know precisely how the strikes will affect the sequel’s production and release, but it’s possible that the film might be delayed.
Currently, ‘Cruella 2’ does not have an official release date. It probably won’t be in theaters until 2025 at the earliest. Until then, the fans can enjoy watching the first movie on Disney+ or Blu-ray and hope for more updates on the sequel soon. ‘Cruella 2’ promises to be another thrilling and stylish adventure featuring one of Disney’s most captivating and complex villains.
