In Maleficent 3: Dark Fae, Angelina Jolie reprises her role as the formidable Maleficent, while Elle Fanning returns as Aurora, now the newly crowned Queen of the Moors. This chapter delves deeper into Maleficent’s origins as a Dark Fae, while introducing a menacing new threat that puts both the fairy realm and the human kingdom in jeopardy.

The teaser trailer begins with a sweeping view of the Moors, a land now basking in peace and prosperity. Maleficent and Aurora stand on a cliff, gazing over the vast, mystical landscape. Aurora speaks of the delicate harmony they’ve established with the humans, but Maleficent remains guarded, her distrust of human nature still lingering. “Peace is fragile,” she warns, her voice carrying an ominous edge that contrasts with Aurora’s hopeful outlook.

The calm is soon shattered as an ancient and powerful foe emerges: Kael, an exiled Dark Fae king (portrayed by a currently unnamed actor).

Kael, seen only in a chilling silhouette, has risen from the forgotten lands beyond the Moors, driven by a thirst for revenge and a desire to reclaim his reign over the Fae. His return brings chaos, with glimpses of his sinister magic spreading like a plague, warping the once-beautiful Moors into a decaying wasteland.
