From Cruella to Maleficent - why we all love a great Disney villainess Mirror 2 hrs ago Richard Simpson
Having charmed film fans in Hollywood hits like La La Land, Emma Stone now gets to unleash her inner villainess by playing the dastardly Cruella de Vil.
She joins a long list of big screen baddies with the power to get moviegoers cowering in their seats – while loving every minute of it.
So there’s no doubt new movie Cruella, just out in UK cinemas after Covid restrictions were relaxed, will prove box office gold.
This is a prequel, in which 32-year-old Emma plays the young de Vil, a fashion designer who sets off on a journey to badness and madness.
