Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Our favourite Disney Villain is back and we’re excited to see what wickedly devious adventures await the horned fairy.

Angelina Jolie reprises her role as Maleficent and Elle Fanning returns to play Princess Aurora, two characters from the studio’s animated classic “Sleeping Beauty”. The duo are joined by Michelle Pfeiffer, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sam Riley, Harris Dickinson, Ed Skrein, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville.

The epic fantasy adventure picks up several years after the events of “Maleficent” where we learned what hardened the heart of Disney’s most notorious horned villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora. This time, we explore the relationship between Maleficent and Aurora as they form new alliances and face strong adversaries as they struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures held within.

The film is directed by Joachim Rønning, produced by Joe Roth, Angelina Jolie and Duncan Henderson with Matt Smith, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Michael Vieira serving as executive producers.
