Maleficent 2 has set an April filming start date, with Angelina Jolie returning as the movie’s namesake.
It wasn’t previously clear when (and, to a degree, if) Jolie would be reprising her role as the Disney ex-villain Maleficent on the big screen.
Omega Underground is reporting that Maleficent 2 has already entered pre-production and is scheduled to start filming April 16th.
Jolie reportedly spent a significant chunk of last year debating whether or not to work on the Dark Universe’s Bride of Frankenstein reboot before or after returning for Maleficent 2.
