Who Is in the ‘Maleficent 3’ Cast? 

While fans were assured that Angelina is coming back as her character, the rest of the cast has not been solidified. However, since Elle’s character is central to the story, many are hoping she will return for another movie.

In 2021, several outlets reported that the third installment was being pursued by The Walt Disney Company, as the second movie was released in 2019. 

What Happened at the End of ‘Maleficent 2’? 

At the end of the second film, Maleficent defeats Queen Ingrith (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) by transforming her into a goat to punish her for her crimes. 

Although Maleficent initially opposed to Aurora and Phillip’s relationship, she gives them her official blessing at the end as the fairytale couple weds. She informs the prince and princess that she plans to return for their future child’s christening.
