Actress Emma Stone will be bringing the story of one of Disney’s greatest villains, Cruella de Vil, on the big screen with Cruella, and she says it comes with a fresh approach and is very “punk rock”.

Disney on Saturday shared a first look of the actress as the iconic villain at the D23 Expo. Stone could not attend the event, but shared information about the project through a video message, in which a dalmatian also made an appearance. “Since you’re such huge Disney fans, we wanted to let you know a bit about the story,” Stone said, adding, “1970’s set in London, it’s punk rock”. 

In the first look of the live-action project, Stone as Cruella is seen with short permed hair with de Vil’s signature black and white colour-blocked hairstyle. She is wearing a black leather checkered jacket, and is holding onto three leashes attached to three dalmatians.
