As Stone puts it, “one of the most fun things to explore is her [Cruella’s] creativity. She’s very good at what she does: designing.” Stone goes then to explain how the process of dressing up makes her feel like Cruella. In Stone’s words: “The character is so much fun and so, kind of, intoxicating. Once you put this wild black-and-white hair and this incredible makeup and these completely unique costumes on, you feel like Cruella De Vil.” The actress ends the video by saying that “the villains are always kind of the fun ones.”
As for the new set of black-and-white posters, each one focuses on a member of the main cast ofCruella, with handwritten words presenting each character’s name and main features.
