“There has been a lot of talk about what will happen next. Where is this world leading us now, you know? Before we dive deep, we are still at this stage of exploring what may and will not work. […] But what I liked the most about the movie is that Estella becomes less and less, she keeps moving away from who she was, until she gives in to this personality that we know. under the name of Cruella.
He continued:
“Now she has to live up to this public figure, even though she’s in conflict with herself, which I find very interesting. She’s in a gray area, but she’s going to become this ‘101 Dalmatians’ villain. , no doubt about it… But how is she going to get caught up in the dark side? In my mind, that’s what the new movie is about.
