The film "Maleficent 2", which will be a continuation of the tale of a sleeping beauty, will be released on large screens in 2020. The first part of the film brought the Walt Disney film studio a good profit. With a budget of $ 180 million, box office revenues exceeded $ 758 million. This was the main incentive for creating a sequel.
When will the premiere take place
The idea of creating the second part arose at the Walt Disney film studio back in 2015, immediately after the successful release of the first film. For a long time she was shrouded in rumors and conjectures. It was even said that the shooting would be canceled, since Angelina Jolie could not find the time to work in the film in her busy schedule. In May 2018, it became known that the film studio had begun work. Angelina Jolie even posted photos on Instagram with El Fanning from the set.
At the end of August 2018, director Joachim Ronning posted a joint photo of the entire group on his page on the social network and announced that the shooting of Maleficent 2 was completed. After he thanked the actors and people who work behind the scenes for their good work. Later, the date of the premiere of the picture was announced.
It is known that the release of the film Maleficent 2 will take place on May 29, 2020. People who liked the first part, hope that the premiere will not be postponed.
Continuation of a story
For a long time the plot of the sequel remained unknown, but after filming the secret of the curtain was ajar to the audience. In the second part, the theme of the relationship between the horned fairy Maleficent and the young princess Aurora will continue to develop. Recall that in the first film the evil fairy, wanting revenge on her beloved Stefan, who betrayed her, cursed the princess. And although the horned fairy became the embodiment of evil and darkness, kindness and generosity remained in her soul. She was imbued with sympathy for the little girl and even saved her from death.
Events in the sequel take place several years later, and they will take an unexpected turn. Stefan's possessions pass to the young princess Aurora. The newly-made ruler of a powerful kingdom faces a serious problem - a confrontation with the neighboring kingdom, which is owned by the evil Queen Ingrit. To repulse the neighbors, Aurora needs to unite with a horned fairy living in the Marshy Marshes. Will they be able to unite to protect the lands together from the neighbor’s encroachments? This you can find out when watching a film.

This is not the first time the scriptwriters have been working together, they previously worked on the TV series Obvious, which was introduced to the world in 2014.
