Emma Stone wants a story about the origin of Úrsula, the villain of "The Little Mermaid"

Disney has recently released Cruella, a spin off that talks about the origin of the 101 Dalmatian villain played by Oscar winner Emma Stone. For the actress, it is the first time she has played a villain, but the trend in recent years in film and television is to constantly tell the stories of the origins of various villains. This path marked by postmodern cinema goes from Maleficent (2014) to the Joker (2019), while on the small screen there are other cases such as Cobra Kai (2018) and Ratched (2020). The origin of the fashion villain is doing really well at the box office and in the critical reception, something that leads us to think about the question of who will be the next Disney villain who will have his own movie? Emma Stone seems to be clear that this should be Úrsula, the villain of The Little Mermaid. Stone declared for Variety that the origin of the aquatic villain could be very interesting: “She is an octopus and the world she will live in, like Úrsula’s parents and everything that happened there. We have never seen a non-human Disney villain being explored like that. ” Regardless of the actress’s wishes, it is clear that somehow we will see the character in the flesh, even if it is not in his own film, but in the real-action story that Disney is preparing. In this new adaptation, the actress in charge of being the 8-tentacle witch will be Melissa McCarthy, in a story directed by Rob Marshall, however we do not know if the origin of the villain will be introduced in some way or simply portray Ariel’s own story , obsessed with the terrestrial world.The only negative point that Cruella is reaping is that in her origin story it is not possible to understand why the character is like this, something that the actor who plays Horace in the film, Paul Walter Hauser has wanted to point out as “ridiculous”. “People get irritated because it is a dark and daring movie (…) You are not watching the dogs become coats. It is an action, adventure, crime and comedy film with a lot of heart and if you don’t like Emma Stone and Emma Thompson, you should probably take your pulse, “concluded the actor. Cruella has been available in theaters since last weekend and in the Disney Plus Premium access.
