Maleficent 3 is officially in the works, according to the Wall Street Journal, and Angelina Jolie will be returning as the titular fairy.
The first Maleficent movie was released in 2014 and a sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, followed in 2019. The films serve as a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale from the perspective of the story's villain, who puts a curse on the infant Princess Aurora. A third movie was announced back in September 2021, but this is the first confirmation we've had since that it's still going ahead.
