In May 2021, Disney enthusiasts were treated to what many hailed as one of the finest live-action remakes to grace the screen: “Cruella.” With its captivating storyline, starring Emma Stone, and skillful balance between nostalgia for “101 Dalmatians” and fresh creativity, the film left an indelible mark on audiences.
The overwhelming success and adoration showered upon “Cruella” naturally led Disney to capitalize on the momentum. Just a month after the film’s debut, the company revealed plans for a sequel, sparking excitement among some fans while others voiced concerns.
Is there a ‘Cruella 2’ release date?
While the prospect of “Cruella 2” (and even talk of a potential threequel) piqued curiosity, there lingered a sense of apprehension about whether it could live up to the high standards set by its predecessor.
As of now, an official release date for “Cruella 2” remains elusive. Emma Stone herself acknowledged that the film is still in development, suggesting that its completion may still be a ways off. Despite speculation pointing to a potential theatrical release in 2025, such predictions should be taken with caution until an official announcement is made. However, if production commences this year, a 2025 release seems increasingly plausible.
While fans eagerly await the sequel, there’s no shortage of other Disney live-action remakes to explore, providing ample entertainment in the interim. While not every remake may strike the same chord as “Cruella,” there’s bound to be something for everyone. Ultimately, the hope remains that “Cruella 2” will avoid the pitfalls that ensnare sequels and continue the legacy of its beloved predecessor.
