The sequel is set several years after the events of 2014’s Maleficent, which gave Sleeping Beauty a dark fantasy makeover and was told from the point of view of the eponymous antagonist, reimagining the King to be the real villain in the classic story.
Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie reprises her role, alongside Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville, and is joined by stars such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Skrein, Harris Dickinson, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
