After 4 years since the release of Maleficent, it has been confirmed through a series of playful photos posted by Elle Fanning, who played Princess Aurora in the 2014 film, that the much anticipated Maleficent 2 has officially begun filming and started principal photography on April 29.
Fanning shared the beginning of shooting the Disney sequel by taking to Instagram to post two photos on Tuesday.
The first picture uploaded by Fanning, in which we can see a certain Tomb Raider playfully standing behind Elle Fanning was captioned "Ultimate Photobomb #Maleficent2" and rightfully so.
Fanning's second picture features both stars smiling while Jolie does the peace sign, and the caption reads "It's bring your mom to work day on the #Maleficent2 set!!!!!" (Except she totally forgot #TotallyMomGoals)

What made this surprising, yet casual, reveal about Maleficent 2 having officially started filming just yesterday even more special was the fact that Elle Fanning's photos also marked Angelina Jolie's official Instagram debut, as Jolie herself doesn't have any social media accounts - unless she has a secret social media account dedicated to cupcakes (or is that just me?)
Filming for the Disney sequel is currently taking place in the United Kingdom, and according to a first synopsis revealed along with the film's announcement, the film will be:
What has been revealed is some of the new cast that will be joining the sequel as well as cast from the original 2014 Disney film that will be returning. Among the stars joining the world of Maleficent 2 include Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith, Harris Dickinson and Ed Skrein as Prince Phillip, and actors Robert Lindsey and Chiwetel Ejiofor are attached as well. Cast members confirmed to be returning from the first film include Sam Riley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, and Lesley Manville.
The film is to be directed by Joachim Ronning, who previously directed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and will be based on a script written by Linda Woolverton, Micah Fitzerman-Blue, and Noah Harpster.
So, without further ado, thank you Disney for the great teasing, I am already waiting and exciting for this magically wicked gem!
