According to Variety, Michelle Pfeiffer is in advanced talks to appear in Maleficent 2 as the movie’s queen, though no other details were provided.
She will appear later as Janet van Dyne in Ant-Man and the Wasp, another movie from the Disney family.
If Pfeiffer’s deal is finalized, she will join a cast that so far consists of Angelina Jolie reprising Maleficent, Elle Fanning reprising Aurora and Deadpool’s Ed Skrein playing the main villain.
Having taken a few years off from acting, Pfeiffer returned to the spotlight last year with the theatrical movies Where is Kyra?, mother! and Murder on the Orient Express, as well as the TV movie Wizard of Lies.
