Director Says Cruella 2 'Is Possible' as Disney Keeps Project on Agenda

Gillespie’s comment signals early-stage development rather than a firm studio greenlight.

Overview

  • Director Craig Gillespie told The Playlist on Thursday that a Cruella sequel “is possible” and that it is “on the agenda” at Disney.
  • There is no official greenlight, no production start date, and no confirmed cast beyond Emma Stone returning to the title role.
  • Industry reporters say the film would likely wait for Gillespie and Stone to clear current commitments, with Gillespie working on a DCU film and Stone focused on prestige projects.
  • Unconfirmed casting talk, including past rumors about Taylor Swift, remains speculative and has not been verified by the studio or primary talent.
  • The original Cruella earned an Oscar nomination for costume design, grossed about $233.5 million worldwide, and is available to stream on Disney+, factors that help explain continued studio interest.
