I am still super-excited for Maleficent 2: Mistress of Doom EVIL! I’m looking forward to the movie itself, but I’m also looking forward to Angelina’s return to acting in general, and the promotional tour for M2. It’s been a while since Angelina has done any magazine interviews. My guess? She doesn’t go for Vanity Fair since they sort of “did her dirty” the last time she agreed to a cover story. I think she’ll go for Vogue. Maybe the September issue, maybe the October issue (M2 comes out October 18th). I’m also excited for the premieres and seeing Angelina do a Disney promo again. She had a lot of fun with it the last time, so I hope she has a good time once again. She and Elle Fanning are adorable together.
Anyway, Disney released another trailer – the full-length trailer – for Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil. Maleficent is the mean mom who doesn’t want her precious adopted daughter to run off and marry a prince (it’s a different prince?). Maleficent is particularly upset by Aurora’s future mother-in-law from hell, played archly by Michelle Pfeiffer. Here’s the trailer:
So wait, it’s not enough that Maleficent is just some (evil) fairy queen, but she’s part of an entirely different race of, like, winged creatures? Then how did she come to live in the forest? What is even happening? Anyway, much like the first movie, I like that the core relationship is about Aurora and Maleficent and I love that it amounts to “eh, you could do better, Aurora, and your future MIL is an a–hole.” I’M SO EXCITED.

I am soo thrilled that I actually screamed watching the trailer. Whoever did the trailer needs to be applauded.
The movie has girlpower written all over it and I hope it gets a billion at the box office.
EXACTLY ! You just said my mind
I can’t wait for this. I love that Disney has a character at the forefront of a film who isn’t just a straight-up protagonist, but challenging for the viewer.
I’m loving the new gold-dusted look! And it makes sense that she wouldn’t be the only one of her kind. She was a winged creature – how could there only be one of her?
Well, damn…these movie trailers this morning are giving me life! This looks to be even better than the first, which I really loved. I’ll definitely be adding this one to must-see list right along with Mulan. Girl Power! ✊🏻
I have got to watch the first one again as I don’t remember much of it. That said – this trailer makes me excited to see the new one!
It’s great there are so many amazing movies to go and see. I just wish they’d lower the ticket prices. It’s just so expensive. I use to wait for movies to be released at Blockbuster, etc. I had a video store right near my house that rented movies for a dollar ! Too bad places like that shut down. I’m just not a fan of movie theaters. You can’t pause to go to the bathroom…people are loud…it’s too dark…etc. I just hate it.
Redbox rents DVDs for a buck or two and is at most pharmacies and grocery stores in my area.
I have heard of that but haven’t seen any where I live. Thanks for replying !
YESSSSS! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE ANGIE BACK ON MY SCREEN PLUS THIS LOOKS GOOD WHAT A PLOT TWIST WITH CHIWETIL
Am I remembering the Vanity Fair thing wrong? They didn’t do her dirty, did they? They just quoted her and there was backlash to what she said.
What I took from the VF article is the writer had an agenda from the beginning of the story and she had some shrewd remarks in that story. If I were Angelina the bitch wouldn’t be allowed to cut my grass.
The thing that surprised me the most was that no one would have made such noise about the quote if the “writer,” didn’t escalated by saying what she said. It’s all in how you deliver. This was her delivery which was deliberate. You can’t tell me if she was bothered she wouldn’t ask the follow up questions to verify. “The casting directors set up a game, rather disturbing in its realism: they put money on the table and asked the child to think of something she needed the money for, and then to snatch it away. The director would pretend to catch the child, and the child would have to come up with a lie. “Srey Moch [the girl ultimately chosen for the part] was the only child that stared at the money for a very, very long time,” Jolie says.
It was made much to do about nothing because of the abuse allegations about her ex Pitt. Number two The little girl didn’t come from these places and Jolie wasn’t even there when this took place. I
Those smithing/forging scenes reminded me of GoT, haha. Also, I’m so happy they brought Sam Riley back!!! I don’t know why he isn’t in more stuff.
He isn’t in more stuff, because his wife Alexandra Maria Lara is also an actress. They always make sure that only one of them is working. The other one is on set with the kid. With that arrangement they both manage to be in one or two movies/shows a year.
I knew about her being a very famous actress in Germany, but I hadn’t heard about their arrangement! It does make sense and hopefully works for them and their family. I’ve never seen her in anything, but he’s super talented. I even liked him as a zombie-slayer Mr. Darcy!
That’s like Angie wanted w/ Brad. Glad Riley sticks to his end of the bargain. That’s sweet.
I really enjoy the prosthetics on her face – they obviously aren’t going to waste Angelina’s looks in a movie like that, but they’re just uncanny valley enough to make her look like something magical and alien, almost serpentine. It’s a really nice nod to the original Disney material.
I know I’m in the minority, but I absolutely hated the original movie (She doesn’t even turn into a dragon, her freaking familiar does, & why couldn’t she just have been the Mistress of Evil that’s who she is and not because some boy hurt her?!? UGH) and this just looks dumb.
I’m excited to see Angelina, Michelle & Elle on the promotional tour as I really like all of those actresses, but I will not see this movie.
Her rage when MIL says Aurora will be hers. Mother Bear alert – WATCH OUT!
“Love doesn’t always end well.” I can see the flicker of pain in her eyes there, so true.
I want to see this.
Trailer looks promising, but the first movie was just so, so, bad that I don’t know if I want to waste any more money. I’ll see what the reviews are like.
Flop
Yeah flopping behinds in the seats to watch. Little girls loved the film sorry
@sierra, YOU SAID IT ALL.
Didn’t see the first one, won’t be seeing this one, I don’t like her.
I really didn’t like the first one, but this one sort of looks like a soft reboot? Like they’re subtly ignoring the first one? I mean, they would have named it Maleficent II or something if that wasn’t the case.
I am so excited for Chiwetel Ejiofor’s role here. I read somewhere he’s Maleficent’s love interest, and I am so here for an Angie and Chewie romance.
Oh my god, so Maleficent finally meets her own fairy family?? Also the mother in law seems reaaaally sketchy to me.. mm.
That just gave me the chills. I loooove the first movie. My daughter and I watch it constantly. Can’t wait for this!
