Jolie’s portrayal didn’t just shatter those notions, it completely redefined them.

In a recent chat withDeadlineabout her new filmMaria, Jolie reflected on a pattern she’s noticed throughout her career, and that is a tendency to play characters who are mentally unbalanced or emotionally fractured. During the conversation, and that is where she also hinted that she might be ready to bring Maleficent back to the screen for another round. She said,
Somebody said, ‘every character you’ve played for almost a decade now has been a bit traumatized, right? Even your Marvel character has PTSD.’ Maleficent was going through a lot too, like worrying about her child, people judging her, and struggling in bouts, but no, she’s always Maleficent. So, she’s maybe the least traumatized. I’d love to play her again.
People are absolutely thrilled at the prospect, and only time will tell if Maleficent will make her grand return!
