Maleficent's return is almost upon us. The upcoming sequel is a follow-up to 2013's
Maleficent and will see Angelina Jolie reprise the titular role. As well, Elle Fanning is back as Princess Aurora. However,
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil will also introduce some new faces such as Michelle Pfiefer's Queen Ingris.
Suffice it to say Maleficent and Queen Ingris don't get off on the right foot. What begins as a skirmish between in-laws quickly dominoes its way into a full-on war between humans and fairies (as well as all manner of other fantasy creatures).
We've gotten glimpses of the epic action is the film's prior trailers but a brand new special look that
Walt Disney Studios has released is all about it and wastes no time getting to the tense and action-packed moments.
Check it out below:
The years have been kind to Maleficent and Aurora. Their relationship, born of heartbreak, revenge and ultimately love, has flourished. Yet the hatred between man and the fairies still exists. Aurora’s impending marriage to Prince Phillip is cause for celebration in the kingdom of Ulstead and the neighboring Moors, as the wedding serves to unite the two worlds. When an unexpected encounter introduces a powerful new alliance, Maleficent and Aurora are pulled apart to opposing sides in a Great War, testing their loyalties and causing them to question whether they can truly be family.
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is set to arrive in theatres on October 18th, 2019.
