Disney has released a new trailer for the “Cruella” film coming to theaters on May 28th.
This time we see more about how the character tried to follow her dreams but apparently ended up getting mistreated. Reminds me of the bad fashion boss like in “The Devil Wears Prada.” Except this time De Vil turns into the Devil. Or Harley Quinn. Hard to say.
Here’s the trailer:

I hope this isn’t going to be yet another attempt to create a sympathetic villain like they did with Maleficent. The woman kidnapped puppies and wants to kill them for a coat. Not exactly someone people want to sympathize with. I know a lot of fans have been concerned that it’s headed in that direction.
Here’s the write-up:
“Before she becomes Cruella de Vil?
Teenaged Estella has a dream. She wishes to become a fashion designer, having been gifted with talent, innovation, and ambition all in equal measures. But life seems intent on making sure her dreams never come true. Having wound up penniless and orphaned in London at twelve, four years later Estella runs wild through the city streets with her best friends and partners-in-(petty)-crime, Horace and Jasper, two amateur thieves. When a chance encounter vaults Estella into the world of the young rich and famous, however, she begins to question the existence she’s built for herself in London and wonders whether she might, indeed, be destined for more after all. When an up-and-coming rockstar commissions Estella to design him a signature piece, she begins to feel as though she has truly arrived. But what is the cost of keeping up with the fast crowd– and is it a price Estella is willing to pay?”
