Popsugar Entertainment Maleficent 2 Maleficent 2 Cast Lo and Behold the New and Returning Cast For Disney's Maleficent 2 1 February 2019 by Kelsie Gibson Image Source: Everett Collection Disney has a lot of reboots underway, but one we're especially looking forward to is Maleficent 2. While the 2014 film put a different spin of the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty, the sequel, which is set to be released on May 29, 2020, will focus on Maleficent and Aurora as they "form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the Moors and the magical creatures that reside within." Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning are reprising their roles as Maleficent and Aurora, respectively, but there are few new stars joining the cast, including Michelle Pfeiffer as a regal character. See who is returning for and joining the sequel ahead!
