After her chilling portrayal of Disney's iconic villain in and as Maleficient, actor Angelina Jolie is back donning the cursed horns. However, the first look from the sets is dorky enough to make a spoofy behind the scene video. Actor Elle Fanning, who will be seen portraying Princess Aurora in the live-action sequel shared behind the scene shot from London, where shooting is currently underway.
She captioned the first image as the "Ultimate Photobomb", while described the other as, "It's bring your mom to work day on the #Maleficent2 set!!!!!"
After the success of Robert Stromberg helmed 2014 Maleficient, telling the tale of iconic Sleeping Beauty villainous witch who cursed Princess Aurora, the sequel will pick up several years after the events of the initial movie as it chronicles the relationship between the horned fairy and the soon-to-be Queen as they struggle to protect the moors. The film is being directed by Joachim Ronning.
The official synopsis for Maleficent 2 is as follows:
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, “Maleficent II” 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.
The film also stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith and Harris Dickinson as Prince Philip, with Chitwetel Ejiofor, Ed Skrein, and Robert Lindsay filling out the new additions. Reprising their roles from the first Maleficent are Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville.
Officially titled Maleficient II, the prequel was Disney's initial settling up in the live-action genre after Alice in Wonderland in 2010. Since then the studio has pioneered the section with films like Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast and The Jungle Book.
