Angelina Jolie returns to the role of the good-fairy-gone-bad in the sequel to the 2014 retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

The original Maleficent film delved into the backstory of the Disney villain and showcased her complicated relationship with Princess Aurora, played by Elle Fanning.

The Mary Shelley actress also reprises her role as the young princess in the sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The second film will focus on Aurora’s upcoming marriage, which does not please the previously-scorned Maleficent in the slightest. “Love doesn’t always end well,” she warns the young woman.

Michelle Pfeiffer has joined the cast for the sequel as Queen Ingrith and seems intent on driving a wedge between Maleficent and Aurora

“Maleficent is a threat to everyone. We will do our best to protect you,” she states.

The sequel looks to be even more action-packed than the first film, which grossed over $750 million worldwide.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil flies into theaters on October 18th.

With production on the sequel to 2014’s Maleficicent due to get underway soon, the cast of the film is shaping up.

First They Killed My Father director Angelina Jolie will reprise her role as the villainous titular character, while I Think We’re Alone Now actress Elle Fanning will once again star as Princess Aurora.

Also said to be in discussions to join the project is Murder on the Orient Express star Michelle Pfeiffer, with the 60 year old expected to star as the Queen.

The original Maleficent told the classic fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty from a different angle—instead focusing on the evil fairy and the story of why she chose to curse Princess Aurora as a baby.

It is not yet know whether the production, which is set to be helmed by director of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Joachim Ronning will follow on from the first film.

In the meantime, we’ll try to avoid pricking our fingers on any spinning wheels…
