Fancy cast
To form the cast of 'Maleficent: Owner of evil', Disney chose a group of actors that includes an Oscar winner, such as Angelina Jolie ('Interrupted Innocence'), and four nominees: Chiwetel Ejiofor ('12 years of slavery '), Imelda Staunton (' The Secret of Vera Drake '), Lesley Manville (' The Phantom Thread ') and Michelle Pfeiffer (' Dangerous Relationships', 'The Fabulous Baker Boys',' Above All ').

Previous success
The film had a cost of 150 million dollars, a figure lower than the one invested in the previous film, which had a cost of 180 million dollars, but which raised 750 million dollars worldwide. According to critics, this predicts an excellent premiere for this second part.
Musical inspiration
Angelina Jolie's characterization as Maleficent was inspired by the image of Lady Gaga in her Born This Way video clip. The makeup team used prostheses to give a more angular appearance to their cheekbones, made contact lenses with horizontal pupils like the eyes of a goat and put a small prosthesis in the nose to the protagonist.
A maleficent of flesh and blood
The factions of Maleficent's animated character were inspired by actress Eleanor Audley, who also lent her voice and performed her scenes disguised as the witch. Audley received Walt Disney's personal invitation for this project, since in 1950 he also masterfully interpreted the evil stepmother of Cen Cinderella ’.
