Disney’s live-action film Cruella, starring Emma Stone as a young version of the titular character, named Estella, hit the big screen on May 28, but on Aug. 27, it was made available to stream to all Disney+ subscribers.

No stranger to the world of theater, the role marked a breakout role for the actor. Read on for everything you need to know about John!
