Although a long time has passed, let us not forget that "Kuira the Black and White Demon 2" has actually been officially confirmed as early as 2021. The news was announced shortly after the first film was released.
Given the box office and critical success of the first film, the production of a sequel can be said to be a certainty. However, despite this, the studio has been unusually slow to develop this highly anticipated project. Even after the fallout from previous years faded, Disney still doesn't seem to be making any major moves.
"Kuira the Black and White Witch 2" cast
Aside from the initial announcement of the sequel, there is currently no official concrete information. However, it is widely expected in the industry that most of the original cast will return. This means that Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone will once again play the protagonist Cruella.

At the same time, Emma Stone and Emma Thompson also put forward an interesting idea, suggesting that "Cruella 2" can learn from the narrative structure of "The Godfather 2" and combine the prequel and sequel. The back and forth between the Baroness's origin story and Cruella's new adventures presents the audience with a more colorful story world.
This highly anticipated sequel undoubtedly carries the huge expectations of movie fans.
