According to a report in Variety, a sequel for ‘Cruella’ is already in works at the Disney Studios. Director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Tony McNamara are both expected to return and helm their respective responsibility for the sequel. It is however yet not officially confirmed if Emma Stone would be returning for the sequel or not. 

According to a report in Variety, speaking about the film’s response and performance on the OTT platform and theaters, a Disney spokesperson said in a statement, “We are very pleased with ‘Cruella’s’ box office success, in conjunction with its strong Disney Plus Premier Access performance to date. The film has been incredibly well received by audiences around the world, with a 97% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes in addition to A’s in every demographic from CinemaScore on opening weekend, ranking it among the most popular of our live-action reimaginings. We look forward to a long run as audiences continue to enjoy this fantastic film.”
