The update comes four years after the sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil was released, however, she did not disclose any more details regarding casting or release date.

The franchise previously starred Elle Fanning as Maleficent’s step-daughter Aurora, Michelle Pfeiffer, Harris Dickinson, Ed Skrein, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Juno Temple

The first part raked $758 million at the global box office while the second one grossed $491.7 million.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt custody battle

Angelina also dropped another bombshell while saying that she wants to quit acting and plans to leave “unhealthy” Los Angeles to “spend more time” in Cambodia.

She expressed her distaste for Hollywood and claimed that it’s a “shallow place” where she would likely never have become an actress if she had entered the industry in today’s age.

Angelina opened up about moving away as soon as she could but her ongoing lengthy battle with ex Brad Pitt still hasn’t found common ground over custody of their six kids.
