The Cast

Both Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning are reprising their roles as Maleficent and Princess Aurora, respectively. Sam Riley will also be returning as Diaval, Maleficent's trusted companion. Imelda Staunton, Lesley Manville, and Juno Temple - the film's ditsy fairies, will be returning as well.

Franchise newcomers include Michelle Pfeiffer who will take on the role of Queen Ingrith and Robert Lindsay, who's been tasked with the role of playing King John (Prince Philip's mother and father, respectively).

Other new faces include: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ed Skrein, Jenn Murray, and David Gyasi.

Now that we've told you the good news, here's the not so great news... Brenton Thwaites (Aurora's love interest in the first film), will not be returning. Yup, according to the trailer, British actor Harris Dickinson will be replacing Thwaites as Prince Philip. *Sighs*

Film Synopsis

The first film saw Maleficent develop into more of a mother figure to Aurora, guiding her to her rightful place at the throne. For the sequel, Disney has revealed that the film will take place several years into the future, and will focus on how the pair handle their new-found power and responsibility.
