“Every curse has a mother.”

🎬 Coming October 2025 | Walt Disney Studios

The horned sorceress has faced betrayal, war, and heartbreak. But in Maleficent 3: The Black Fairy, she comes face to face with the one force she cannot tame — her past.

🦋 Plot Summary:

After years of peace between the Moors and the human kingdoms, a dark presence begins spreading across the land — wilting forests, poisoning magic, and awakening long-forgotten fears.

When Queen Aurora falls into a mysterious, irreversible sleep, Maleficent senses a magic older — and crueler — than her own. The source? The Black Fairy — a long-exiled figure shrouded in legend… and Maleficent’s estranged mother.

Banished centuries ago for crimes against fae-kind, the Black Fairy has returned with one goal: to absorb all magic and remake the world in her image. Maleficent must now form uneasy alliances, confront painful truths, and risk everything — even her own powers — to stop a force that knows her better than anyone.

Because this time, the battle isn’t for a throne… it’s for her soul.
