Angelina Jolie Will Reprise Villainous Role in ‘Maleficent 3’
Maleficent fans rejoice! Angelina Jolie has confirmed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal her return to the role of the powerful, yet misunderstood villain, Maleficent.
This film will be the third installment of the series. The Maleficent franchise began in 2014 to offer a fresh perspective on the classic 1959 tale Sleeping Beauty.
The new film is currently in the early stages of production. We eagerly await further announcements regarding the plot, cast, and release date.
Maleficent 3 promises to be a thrilling and visually stunning addition to the franchise.
The films explore Maleficent’s origin story and real motivations. Jolie’s captivating performance earned her widespread acclaim. The franchise has been successful grossing more than $1 billion worldwide.
In the same WSJ interview, Jolie implies that she eventually wants to quit acting for good and spend more time in Cambodia, where she owns a home.
Maleficent
The first movie in the trilogy tells the story of Sleeping Beauty from Maleficent’s point of view. She lives a happy life until her forest kingdom is threatened and she is betrayed by a friend.
Her heart hardens and she is out for revenge. She curses the newborn princess, Aurora, and only later realizes the error of her ways.
Mistress of Evil
In the second film, we see Maleficent traveling to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Aurora and Prince Phillip.
While there we discover that Aurora’s future mother-in-law, the queen, is hatching a plot to destroy all the Dark Fae fairies like Maleficent.
So far only Jolie has been confirmed to return to the cast. However, we’d love to see Elle Fanning return as Aurora and Sam Riley as Diaval if possible.
Stay tuned for further updates as we find out more!
