101 Dalmatians is no stranger to a sequel, there was the live-action 102 Dalmatians and the animated direct-to-DVD 101 Dalmatians II, and now the prequel is getting a sequel too. Two-ella perhaps?
The Wrap has reported that Emma Stone has closed a deal with The Walt Disney Company to star in a follow-up movie, putting to bed rumours that she was planning on joining Scarlett Johansson in suing the House of Mouse over alleged breach of contract and lost pay due to their films having joint cinema and Disney+ premium access releases.

Back in June it was confirmed that a sequel was on the way, following the first movie's box office success.
At the time, a statement said: "The film has been incredibly well received by audiences around the world, with a 97% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes in addition to As in every demographic from CinemaScore on opening weekend, ranking it among the most popular of our live-action re-imaginings. We look forward to a long run as audiences continue to enjoy this fantastic film."
Disney tasked Cruella director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Tony McNamara to see what they could come up with in terms of a sequel, leading off from the pretty obvious sequel hook they had at the end of the first film.

Cruella is out now in cinemas and on Disney+ with Premier Access.
