According to the official logline for this highly-anticipated project, Cruella “follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs” in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution.

This new take on Dodie Smith’s beloved novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians was first announced at D23 Expo in 2019, with Craig Gillespie serving as the director. In addition to Emma Stone, the cast also includes Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, Paul Walter Hauser, Emily Beecham, and Mark Strong.

Cruella is set to premiere on May 28th, as one of the first major movies from Disney’s slate to hit U.S. theaters this year. Marvel’s Black Widow and 20th Century Studios’ Free Guy are both expected to premiere the same month under the Disney moniker.

The 11-year-old Weir is still a newcomer in Hollywood, but she’ll be in good company. Thompson will take on the role of Matilda’s cruel and selfish principal Miss Trunchbull, while Lynch will portray the kind and soft-spoken teacher Miss Honey.

This project about a young bookworm who uses telekinesis to overcome the obstacles she’s dealing with at school and at home will be directed by Matthew Warchus. He was previously in charge of helming the stage musical this project is based on, which was rewarded with multiple Tony and Laurence Olivier Awards.

Original playwright Dennis Kelly will also return, and write the script for this exciting movie adaptation. Music and lyrics by Tim Minchin will also be featured in this highly-anticipated musical, set to premiere on Netflix after a theatrical run in the UK.

This highly-anticipated film, helmed by I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie, will follow the adventures of one of Disney’s most notorious villains – puppy bandit and fur lover Cruella de Vil. Cruella is set to be released on December 23, 2020, and Emma Stone is currently the only confirmed member of the cast.

It’s unclear who’s Emma Thompson going to play if she decides to accept this role, but she’s no stranger to Disney. She recently played Mrs. Potts in the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, and that’s not her most successful project with this studio. Back in 2013, Thompson portrayed Mary Poppins author P.L. Travers in Saving Mr. Banks. She received critical acclaim for her performance and went on to snag nominations for several major awards – including Golden Globe and BAFTA.

SNL will return to NBC on May 4, in what is shaping up to be a historic episode for this show. It will see former star Adam Sandler take on the hosting duties for the first time ever since being fired from this show over two decades ago.

May 11 episode won’t lack excitement either since it sees Jonas Brothers coming back to Saturday Night Live after an entire decade. They’ll appear alongside first-time host Emma Thompson, who’s currently busy promoting her upcoming comedy Late Night.

Season 44 will conclude on May 18, with Paul Rudd coming back to host for his fourth time alongside musical guest DJ Khaled.

Late Night stars Thompson as a ruthless late night show host, whose career is about to be over. She decides to revitalize her aging talk show by hiring her first and only female staff writer, but it’s not exactly smooth sailing from there.

“Originally intended to smooth over diversity concerns, her decision brings about unexpectedly hilarious consequences as the two women, who are separated by culture and generation, become united by their love of a biting punchline,” reads the official synopsis of this hilarious comedy.

Kaling and Thompson aren’t the only reason why this movie, directed by Nisha Ganatra, is a comedy gold. Late Night also stars John Lithgow, Hugh Dancy, Reid Scott, and Amy Ryan. We can’t wait to see what this impressive ensemble cast has in store when this movie premieres on July 7.

The 59-year-old got cheeky with the royal while being honored at Buckingham Palace. Thompson was officially given the title of Dame in the Queen’s Birthday Honors list in June.

The ceremony took place at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. Prince William definitely got more than he bargained for as the Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning actress made him blush when she asked if she could kiss him.

”I love Prince William, I’ve known him since he was little, and we just sniggered at each other,” Thompson told The Daily Mail. “I said, ‘I can’t kiss you, can I?’ And he said, ‘No, don’t!'” She continued: “If you’re first up, you have to be more formal on such an occasion, but he’s looking wonderful and doing so well. He said, ‘This day isn’t about me, it’s about you.’”

The Duke of Cambridge isn’t the only royal Thompson is fond of. She said, “It’s really lovely because I’ve always loved the boys, and I’ve always been a long-term correspondent with their dad,” she said. “It’s a very lovely feeling.”

Thompson was accompanied by her husband Greg Wise, and their children, Gaia, 18, and Tindyebwa, 19, for the ceremony. She opted for an elegant blue suit and white sneakers for the regal occasion.

Congratulation, Dame Emma!
