‘Maleficent 3’ – Angelina Jolie Will Star in Third Installment of Disney’s Live Action Franchise

Maleficent 3

Angelina Jolie was perfectly cast as the deliciously evil Maleficent for Disney’s live action movie back in 2014, which put the focus entirely on the iconic Disney villain and managed to find a way to make her a sympathetic character. The film was a massive box office hit in 2014, making nearly $800 million worldwide and spawning a sequel just a handful of years later.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil continued the story of Jolie’s Maleficent in 2019, though that film ended its worldwide box office run with just under $500 million. The sequel’s production budget was nearly $200 million, so Disney no doubt expected the film to make more in theaters. Nevertheless, it looks like we’re still getting a Maleficent 3 at some point soon.

A new profile that The Wall Street Journal wrote up on Angelina Jolie this week confirms that Jolie is currently attached to star in a third movie in the Maleficent franchise.

The site reports, “[Jolie] is signed on to act in several more [movies], including a third Maleficent.”

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil picked up several years after Maleficent, in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney’s most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora. Maleficent II continued to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen, as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.

The first Maleficent movie was directed by Robert Stromberg, while Joachim Rønning took over to direct Mistress of Evil. No word yet on who will be directing the third installment.
