The original story centered on an evil fairy who cursed an infant princess to eternal sleep, only to realise the young girl was the only one who could save the kingdom from its dangerous ruler. "Maleficent" broke several box office records on its way to making $758.5 million worldwide. Production on the sequel is set to start later this year.
