There had been talk of a Maleficent sequel shortly after the movie hit theaters, but the development was slow going.
The dates in question are July 28, 2017, April 6, 2018, August 3, 2018, December 25, 2018 and December 20, 2019.
Disney’s Maleficent 2 is finally moving forward after several years in development, with Angelina Jolie returning as the main character, and now we know when production will begin.
Angelina Jolie was said to be deciding between this project and the Universal monster movie Bride of Frankenstein as her next movie, and it seems that Maleficent 2 has come out on top.
