A new poster for Maleficent has been released by Walt Disney, featuring Angelina Jolie as the feared villainess.
The movie is something of a prequel, and also a retelling of Disney’s classic 1959 animated feature, Sleeping Beauty, taking the film’s primary antagonist, Maleficent (Jolie), and telling the story of who she was before, how an act of betrayal turned her heart to stone, and why she ultimately cursed a young princess named Aurora.
You can check out the new poster and read a description below.
