Just a month after the movie hit theatres, Disney officially confirmed that a sequel was happening, with Emma closing her deal to return two months later.
It went on to gross $235.5 million worldwide from a budget estimated to be $100 million during its summer 2021 theatrical run.
Earlier this year the actress confirmed the sequel was still happening ‘Hopefully it’s sooner rather than later.’
Asked by Variety if she’s seen a script for the sequel quite yet, and she admitted it’s a, ‘work in progress kind of thing going on.’
‘Yeah, we’ll see what happens,’ she said, as she was asked, ‘How much do you want to revisit that?’
‘It’s a blast. She’s a blast. So yeah, we’ll see. It’s a very… it’s a work in progress,’ Stone admitted.
Both Cruella director Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) and screenwriter Tony McNamara (Poor Things) are expected to return for the sequel, but there has been little movement on the project since
Disney hasn’t set a release date for Cruella 2 yet, nor have they announced any sort of production schedule.

But when the pandemic wreaked havoc with cinema releases, many movies went straight to streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+, which pay only modest ‘residuals’ to actors.
Emma’s agent Patrick Whitesell claimed in 2021 that the deal for Cruella II protects performers, saying: ‘While the media landscape has been disrupted in a meaningful way for all distributors, their creative partners cannot be left on the sidelines to carry a disproportionate amount of the downside.
‘This agreement demonstrates there can be an equitable path forward that protects artists and aligns studios’ interests with talent.
‘We are hopeful this will open the door for more members of the creative community to participate in the success of new platforms.’
