MALEFICENT 3: Dark Fae (2025) – Reimagined Synopsis

Angelina Jolie returns as the iconic and enigmatic Maleficent in Maleficent 3: Dark Fae, alongside Elle Fanning’s Aurora, now the newly crowned Queen of the Moors. This thrilling new chapter dives deeper into Maleficent’s mysterious past as one of the Dark Fae, while unveiling a formidable new threat that endangers both the magical realm and the human world.

The teaser trailer opens with a breathtaking aerial shot of the Moors, glowing with peace and life. Standing atop a high cliff, Maleficent and Aurora survey their realm. Aurora speaks with hope about the fragile harmony they’ve built between humans and fae, but Maleficent’s voice cuts through with quiet caution: “Peace is a dream… easily broken.” Her tone hints at the storm on the horizon.

That storm arrives in the form of Kael, a once-banished Dark Fae king, cloaked in shadows and vengeance. His presence is felt before he’s seen—withered trees, dark storms, and corrupted magic creep across the land. Kael seeks not only revenge, but total dominion, threatening to unravel everything Maleficent and Aurora have fought to protect.

With sinister magic spreading like wildfire and trust between realms wearing thin, Maleficent must confront her deepest fears and the darkest corners of her heritage. As alliances shift and war looms, Dark Fae sets the stage for a sweeping battle between past and present, power and mercy, and ultimately, redemption and ruin.
Majestic visuals, high-stakes conflict, and emotional depth make Maleficent 3 a powerful culmination of the beloved fantasy saga.
