Learn about one of Maleficent's new powers in these behind the scenes photos

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

In Disney’s upcoming MALEFICENT, starring Angelina Jolie in the title role, the self-proclaimed Mistress of All Evil looks to be utilizing a new power.

As you can see in the set photos below, Angelina Jolie is attached to a rig being handled by a couple of lucky dudes in head to toe body stockings. The obvious assumption is that Maleficent will have the ability to fly. Now, I haven’t watched SLEEPING BEAUTY since my niece was little, but I recall Maleficent being able to teleport and transform into a dragon, but she never flew.

You can clearly see in the first photo that the previous assumptions are correct: Maleficent’s horns in the film look to be sprouting from her head, not a headress as in the animated film. This may tie directly into her dragon-like nature. I hope her back story does not say she is the unholy spawn of man mating with dragon. That would be a little ridiculous. But, then again, she is a flying woman with horns, so all bets are off.
