While it might not have hit the stratospheric heights of Alice In Wonderland, last year’s live-action fairy tale origin story Maleficent was certainly a winner at the box office, with more than $758 million at the global box office. Practice your surprised face, then, ready for the news that Disney is planning a sequel.
It’s early days for the follow-up as yet, and the Mouse House has only gone so far as to engage the services of Maleficent/Alice screenwriter Linda Woolverton to come up with the script for this one. And naturally, the studio is staying in contact with Angelina Jolie, whose presence would almost certainly be required (what with her being, you know, Maleficent), but she doesn’t have a deal yet. Aside from the Kung Fu Panda and Tomb Raider films, she’s not really one for sequels, but Disney will no doubt be able to offer a good deal.
The first film explored a lot of her life, from her early days to how she interconnected with the events of Sleeping Beauty, so we’re wondering what she’ll be up to next. Perhaps she’ll fix some other realm’s magical problems or even become a roving do-gooder who constantly has to explain to people that she’s not actually evil?
