15 Villainous Cruella de Vil Tattoos
Who's your favorite Disney villain?
Over the last decade, Disney has been creating live-action movies for all of their top animated classics. Now, it’s time for 1961’s “One Hundred and One Dalmatians” to have it’s time in the spotlight. However, this time the House of Mouse is mixing things up. Instead of creating an exact remake, they’re telling a brand new story, showing audiences the early life of the film’s villain Cruella de Vil.
In their upcoming film, titled “Cruella,” we watch the anti-hero Estella “Cruella” de Vil descend into madness before our very eyes. Academy Award-winning actor Emma Stone brings this character to life and showcases a young fashion designer living in London during the 1970s. This is the second actress to portray Cruella in a live-action film, with Glenn Close cast as the villain in 1996’s “101 Dalmatians” and “102 Dalmatians.” The film also stars Emma Thompson, Joel Fry and Paul Walter Hauser.
In honor of the upcoming film, which hits theaters on May 28th, 2021, take a look at the first trailer, as well as 15 tattoos of the iconic Disney villain in the gallery below. Then let us know your favorite Disney villain of all time in the comments section on social media.
