Angelina Jolie Spills the Tea on Playing Maleficent Again

Buy Me A Coffee

Angelina Jolie is talking about her infamous winged baddie, Maleficent, and whether she’s ready to swoop back onto our screens. Spoiler alert: it sounds like she’s got her spiky headpiece on standby.

The 49-year-old actress—yes, she’s aging like a fine enchanted wine—first cackled her way into our hearts as the not-so-evil villain in Maleficent (2014) and doubled down on the dark glam in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019). But could there be a third chapter in this fairy tale gone rogue?

In a chat with Deadline, Angelina shared her love for playing characters with “a bit of trauma.” (Read: If your character doesn’t have emotional baggage heavier than a pumpkin carriage at midnight, Angie isn’t interested.) Naturally, Maleficent, queen of the broody stare and dramatic one-liners, checks all the boxes.

“She was struggling in bouts,” Angelina mused, channeling her inner therapist. (We’re assuming “bouts” is Hollywood speak for crying in your castle with a raven on your shoulder.) But despite Maleficent’s misunderstood nature, Angelina says the character toughed it out like a pro. Because who doesn’t cope with existential dread by turning into a dragon occasionally?

When asked if she’d revisit her most fabulous role, Angelina didn’t hesitate: “I would love that. I would love to play her again.” Translation? Somebody start polishing those cheek prosthetics, stat.

Here’s the kicker: Disney already spilled the pixie dust last year, announcing Maleficent 3 was in the works. While the details are more secretive than the recipe for Sleeping Beauty’s curse, the big question remains: Will Maleficent finally find peace, or will she keep serving us drama and highlighter goals?

Until we get an update, we can only hope Angelina’s warming up her wings and practicing her best evil laugh in the mirror. Maleficent doesn’t do small comebacks—she lands with a fireball. 🔥
