Disney has confirmed a slew of exciting upcoming films, including sequels for The Jungle Book and Maleficent, as well as stand-alone movies based on Cruella de Vil and Tinkerbell.

Emma Stone will star as Cruella de Vil in a new Disney movie.

Angelina Jolie will soon be returning as Maleficent, with the sequel’s script once again written by Linda Woolverton. There will also be a sequel to classic Mary Poppins, from Into the Woods director Rob Marshall, which is set to star Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel.
