Emma Stone will once again play the villainous of the
101 Dalmatians
.
As
Deadline
announced
, the Oscar-winning actress has signed a deal with Disney to star in the movie sequel
Cruella.
Due to the health crisis, the film was released both in theaters and on the Disney + streaming platform on May 26.
Internationally, ticket sales have grossed more than $ 222 million (€ 188 million).
To date, it is still too early to know under what conditions the second part of the adventures of the heroine with two-tone hair will come out, in theaters only, or like the first part, also on VOD?

according to
Deadline
, this agreement signed between Emma Stone and Disney will benefit both parties, especially at a time when Disney is still hesitating on the optimal model for its big releases. The news will also be reassuring about the relations that the American giant maintains with its star actors. Some observers feared that other disgruntled follow in Scarlett Johansson's footsteps. The actress decided to sue Disney following her decision to release the film Black Widow on its streaming platform at the same time as at the cinema. According to the actress, these two simultaneous releases constitute a breach of contract that cost her millions of dollars. The release of
Black Widow
on the big screen had been postponed several times due to the health crisis.

Another star to say they are satisfied with Disney despite the strategy of two simultaneous releases is
"The Rock"
, Dwayne Johnson.
The
Jungle Cruise
actor
tirelessly promoted the film to his more than 300 million social media followers.
The nostalgia-tinged adventure film saw Disney sail quiet waters to the top of the North American box office for its first weekend of operation, grossing $ 34.2 million in revenue.
If Disney did not make public the figures of
Cruella
on VOD, they must have been convincing enough for the firm to follow up on the adventures of the cruel heroine. Director Craig Gillespie is also back in business, as does screenwriter Tony McNamara.
