Angelina Jolie is Back in First Trailer for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil


Aladdin and The Lion King aren't the only live-action Disney movies left for 2019. The studio is also coming out with their sequel to 2014's Maleficent, and we have our first trailer released for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

Here's the official description:

"Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" is a fantasy adventure that picks 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. The film continues 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.

While the first movie was a box office success, it admittedly came out divisive to a lot of fans, mostly because the film had turned one of the most famous villains of Disney into this misunderstood hero. With Mistress of Evil though, it looks like the movie wants to "break" this version of the character so she turns out to be the villain that everyone wanted to see all along.

It's worth noting that the film has hired a new director with Joachim Ronning and has also gotten new scriptwriters with Linda Woolverton and Micah Fitzerman. While I expect the movie to pretty much look like the first, maybe Mistress of Evil will be different storywise.

Catch Maleficent: Mistress of Evil when it comes out Oct. 18.
