Maleficent 3: Dark Fae (TBA)

Maleficent 3: Dark Fae (TBA) is the rumored third installment of Disney’s Maleficent franchise, though it has not yet been officially confirmed as of now. If this film were to be produced, it would continue the story of Maleficent, the iconic villain-turned-antihero, portrayed by Angelina Jolie.

The Maleficent series, starting with Maleficent (2014) and followed by Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019), is a reimagining of the classic Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty (1959), but from the perspective of the villainous fairy Maleficent. In the original story, Maleficent curses Princess Aurora, but in the Maleficent films, she is portrayed as a misunderstood antihero with complex motives, and the narrative reveals her true nature as protective, kind, and loving toward Aurora, whom she adopts as a surrogate daughter.

If Maleficent 3: Dark Fae were to follow in the same vein, it would likely continue to explore Maleficent’s relationship with Aurora and expand on the lore of the magical world. The “Dark Fae” could suggest a deeper dive into the mystical and darker elements of Maleficent’s origins and the magical creatures of her world, possibly introducing new threats or challenges for Maleficent and her allies.
