Every Upcoming Disney Movie - Ranked

28. Cruella

Emma Stone Cruella

Release Date: TBC

Coming from the same school of thought that brought us Maleficent (and its sequel), Cruella won't be a live-action remake of 101 Dalmatians (which existed long before Disney made a habit out of it) but rather a prequel story centred on its evil antagonist.

The film will feature a younger Cruella de Vil, and star the brilliant Emma Stone in the title role, which is the main reason for any excitement. Mozart in the Jungle's Alex Timbers is currently attached to direct, although it probably won't start filming for a while yet, as Stone has Zombieland 2 to film first and there's not been much word on this one for some time. Assuming it does happen, though, then this should perfect the model they started with Maleficent.
