The character of Cruella de Vil from Dodie Smith’s 1956 novel The One Hundred and One Dalmatians will be the focus of a 2021 American crime comedy titled Cruella. Craig Gillespie helmed the picture from a story by Aline Brosh McKenna, Kelly Marcel, and Steve Zissis; the script was written by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara. This film is both a reimagining of the 101 Dalmatians franchise and the third live-action version of the film series.
Lead actress Emma Stone is joined by a stellar cast that includes Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, Emily Beecham, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Mark Strong. The film follows Estella Miller, a young fashion designer in 1970s London, as she follows the road that ultimately leads her to become the infamous fashion designer Cruella de Vil.
Disney Rumored to Want Taylor Swift to Be the Villain in the CRUELLA Sequel
I thought Disney’s first Cruella movie was beautiful, and I adored Emma Stone’s acting. She was fantastic in it, and Paul Walter Hauser, who plays Horace, says filming on Cruella 2 will begin in 2019. Stone is scheduled to reprise her part, while the director of the previous film Craig Gillespie and writer Tony McNamara are also returning to tell the next chapter of the story.
The Disney Insider reports that Taylor Swift is now being considered for the role of the film’s antagonist. Nothing has been confirmed, but it would be an intriguing option if this is true. Swift makes for an easy villain.
That’s not all, though. The rumor is also saying that the sequel will be a musical, which is somewhat hilarious given the original movie was likened to Todd Phillips’ Joker. The Joker sequel is also going to be a musical. Again, these are all just rumors for now, but it will be interesting to see if they are true.
Cruella 2 Rumored to Be a Musical, Taylor Swift Wanted to Co-Star with Emma Stone?
There are new reports concerning the creative direction of the upcoming sequel Cruella 2, and we may find out more officially at D23. After the success of 2021’s Cruella, it was announced that Emma Stone would return to the role of the Disney villain for a sequel. Little else has been shared about where Cruella de Vil will go in the sequel.
New reports about the film have surfaced on TheDisInsider, but it should be noted that nothing has been confirmed yet. Since Stone has already proven her mettle as a musical performer with her award-winning turn in La La Land, the outlet reports that the film is being prepared as a musical. As a bonus, rumors say that pop singer Taylor Swift is “already set to star in an adversarial part that was characterized to us as ‘Cruella’s match. The fact that what appears to be a manipulated image of Swift also appears in the first Cruella film lends credence to this idea.
Whether or whether this is true, it’s likely not a coincidence that this story seems familiar. It was recently announced that pop icon Lady Gaga would join Joaquin Phoenix in the next Joker sequel, which is being adapted into a musical. As the first Cruella was often compared to the latter, earning it the moniker “Disney’s Joker,” does the casting of Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift in the sequel indicate that Disney has entirely accepted this idea?
