Despite receiving a mixed critical reception, the original Maleficent was a box-office monster, going on to earn over $750 million worldwide. A number that high made a sequel inevitable, and sure enough, we'll finally get to see one in 2020.

Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 co-director Joachim Rønning will be steering this particular ship, and Angelina Jolie will return in the title role, surrounded by a brilliant supporting cast including Michelle Pfeiffer and Chiwetel Ejiofor. According to Jolie, those actors will be put to good use too, with the star telling Deadline that everyone has been working really hard on the script, and that the movie will be "really strong".

The film will pick up several years after the original, and will further explore the relationship between Maleficent and Princess Aurora. Given that filming wrapped last year, we should expect our first look at the film - whether that's a still, a cast photo, or even a teaser trailer - in the coming months.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
