Glenn Close has amassed one of the most iconic careers in all of Hollywood, but perhaps one of her best-known roles was as Cruella de Vil in Disney’s 1996 live action 101 Dalmations Movie. While a film is in the works on the younger version of the character, which she is working on as executive producer, Close says she may not have finished portraying the iconic character.

Speaking to Variety, Close discussed the character she had portrayed all those years ago and hinted that she might not be done with Cruella just yet. “I have a great story about doing another Cruella with my Cruella,” said Close, before pointing out a story in which Cruella goes to New York before she “goes down the sewers.”
Currently, Cruella de Vil’s coat is held by Emma Stone, who will portray a younger version of the character in Disney’s Cruella. Based on the character Dodie Smith created in her 1956 book The Hundred and One Dalmatians, Disney’s Cruella will explore the rebellious beginnings of one of the most infamous – and notoriously fashionable – villains in cinema. Set in London in the 1970s in the midst of the punk rock revolution, the film follows a young Grifter named Estella, a smart and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends two young thieves who appreciate their appetite for mischief and together they can build a life for themselves on the streets of London.
