Disney are currently working on a live-action prequel to
101 Dalmatians which focuses on the animated classic's antagonist. It's called
Cruella and will star Academy Award-winning actress Emma Stone as the titular villainess.
Additionally, the cast includes Emma Thompson (
Sense and Sensibility), Mark Strong (
Shazam!), Paul Walter Hauser (
I, Tonya), Joel Fry (
Yesterday), and Emily Beecham (
Into the Badlands). The latter of those actors was
only announced as a part of the cast the other day. Similarly, now another actress has joined the roster.
According to a new report by
Variety, Kirby Howell-Baptiste will feature in
Cruella — though there aren't any details on her role just yet. Howell-Baptiste is best known for her various television roles in such shows as
Killing Eve,
The Good Place,
Barry,
Veronica Mars, and
Why Women Kill.
Cruella is set to arrive in theatres on May 28th, 2021.
