Emma Stone is fully embracing her latest role as the infamous Disney villainess Cruella de Vil.
A new trailer for the punk rock-inspired flick debuted this week, and in it, the 32-year-old Stone is seen completely transformed into the iconic Dalmatian dog-napper while explaining away her character’s backstory.
At the beginning of the trailer, fans see a young red-headed Cruella -- whose name at the time was Estella -- as she details her mission to grab the world by its tail in her quest for power.
"It's a world of opportunity. And I was meant for more in this life," young Estella says over the Nancy Sinatra record, "These Boots Are Made for Walking."
