Deadline<\/a>, screenwriter Linda Woolverton is writing the third installment of Maleficent.<\/p>\nIt was also mentioned that she will be the executive producer of a “Winnie the Pooh<\/strong>” series. “Beauty and the Beast<\/strong>“, “The Lion King<\/strong>“, “Alice in Wonderland<\/strong>“, and the first two “Maleficent<\/strong>” films were written by Wolverinen, who is recognized for his screenwriting talents.<\/p>\n\u201cThe opportunity to reimagine “Winnie-the-Pooh<\/strong>“<\/i> for a new generation is truly an honor,\u201d\u00a0said Woolverton, who was most recently a producer on Netflix movie “Spellbound<\/strong>“<\/i> and is a writer on “Maleficent 3<\/strong>“<\/i>.\u00a0\u201cThese beloved stories hold a special place in so many hearts, including my own. I\u2019m excited to craft fresh narratives that capture the warmth, charm, humor, and gentle wisdom, of the Hundred Acre Wood while introducing new layers of storytelling, celebrating the neurodiversity amidst these most special characters.\u201d<\/p>\nThe last time we\u2019ve seen Jolie\u2019s take on Maleficent was back in 2019 with her sequel film “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil<\/strong>“<\/i>\u00a0directed by Joachim R\u00f8nning and co-written by Woolverton, Noah Harpster, and Micah Fitzerman-Blue. In December 2023, Angelina Jolie confirmed her intention to return as the iconic Disney villain.<\/p>\n“Maleficent 3<\/strong>“<\/i>\u00a0has been in development for years but no director has been attached yet. We expect that to change soon.<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a9Courtesy of Disney According to the Deadline, screenwriter Linda Woolverton is writing the third installment of Maleficent.
