Judith Shekoni Cast in Disney's MALEFICENT 2
Maleficent 2 is in production at the moment and a new member of the cast has been announced. Judith Shekoni from Breaking Dawn Part 2 has been cast as Shrike who Variety describes as “a character who befriends the titular anti-hero, Maleficent[.]” Based on the name, I’m guessing she’ll be a mythical creature and not a human, but I could be wrong.
Shekoni will be joining the big names of Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ed Skrein, Robert Lindsay, and Harris Dickinson. In case you missed it, here’s the synopsis that we have:
“A fantasy adventure that picks up several years after “Maleficent,” in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney’s most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora, “Maleficent II” continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen, as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.”
No official release date has been set for the film.
