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."

Estella is steadfast on making an impression on London’s Baroness von Hellman, played by Emma Thompson.
