Angelina Jolie has previously admitted she will lean towards villainous roles that speak to her, with one of her favourite being the wicked witch Maleficent in the eponymous 2014 movie, where she curses the character of Aurora (Elle Fanning) out of spite. The actress explained: “It’s about being your true self. [Aurora] is this beautiful, soft princess, and [Maleficent] is this manic creature with a very bad temper and many, many other things, and yet [Maleficent] sees [Aurora] exactly as she is and doesn’t want her to be any different than she is, and [Aurora] sees [Maleficent] as she is and accepts her as she is. “
