There’s interesting news today for Disney fans, as the sequel to the popular 2014 film Maleficent, which stars Angelina Jolie as the titular Sleeping Beauty villain, now has an official title, a new poster and a 2019 release date.

Disney announced the full title of the movie will be Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and that it will be released on October 18 of this year. This is noteworthy, as it was originally scheduled for a May 2020 release date.

The poster features a stylized profile of Jolie’s character, mostly in shadow, with a ray of light hitting her face from the front.

According to Collider, there is some speculation that the film could actually be released via the upcoming Disney+ streaming service, as the official press release only says the movie will be “released nationwide” and makes no mention of theaters. This would perhaps explain the shift in timing from spring of 2020 to fall of 2019. However, at this time, the reason for the date change is unknown and the Disney+ possibility remains only speculation.
