After Cruella hit theaters last year, it didn’t take long for Disney to announce a sequel featuring Emma Stone and director Craig Gillespie in the title role. Recently, Paul Walter Hauser (Horacy) revealed that shooting for the sequel is likely to begin next year, and rumors of the cast are already surfacing. According to The Disney Insider, there is a rumor that Cruella 2 will be a musical with Taylor Swift being credited as the film’s villain.
While there is no official information on these rumors, making the second Cruella movie a musical makes sense considering Emma Stone won an Oscar for La La Land . As for Swift, there have been theories that she had a secret shot in the first film. However, if the singer really did appear in the movie, it would probably have already been confirmed. Rumors of Cruella 2 are starting to sound as if Disney is taking the same approach as with Joker 2 . The upcoming DC sequel will also be a musical and will feature Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.

Last year, ComicBook.com asked Gillespie what fans can expect in the upcoming sequel and if Emma Thompson will be returning as the Baroness.
“What I finally loved Cruelli was… She fought for Hellman’s Hall throughout the movie, and then suddenly realizes the sacrifice. It’s like losing part of Estella. Now he has a public personality that he has to deal with somehow. This conflict that I felt was really interesting and I think by the time she gets to get 101 Dalmatians she will have almost a dark side to her. He is in the gray area right now. ”
“I cannot answer that question. It would be a shame if she wasn’t in it, wouldn’t it? ” He replied when asked if Thompson would return.
