10. Maleficent 2

The Original: Maleficent was released in 2014, making it Disneyʼs second effort at repackaging one of their classic animated movies. Disneyʼs Sleeping Beauty was the basis for Maleficent which focused on the villainous character and portrayed the story from the perspective of the antagonist. At first, reaction was mixed when Disney announced the project. Surprisingly, the movie was a hit with audiences and managed to rake in $758 million worldwide, and its no surprise that Disney have put this sequel into development. The Planned Remake: This will be a direct sequel to the retelling of the Sleeping Beauty villain. Angelina Jolie played the titular character and is expected to reprise her role as the good hearted fairy turned evil, but as of yet, hasnʼt signed up for the project.
