Cruella: Emma Stone-Led Prequel Is Disney’s Joker

Cruella, a prequel that absolutely nobody asked for, is the Disney version of 2019’s stand-alone Joker as the film seeks to humanify the villain. This film runs 134 minutes.

Maybe it was a sign of things to come but in this particular instance, neither film is…
