Maleficent II's new Disney queen has been unveiled, as Michelle Pfeiffer has shared a first look at her mysterious new character Queen Ingrith.

The actress posted a new Instagram tease of herself made up in costume, though we only see a portion of her new look.

"A little tease of Queen Ingrith #Maleficent2," she captioned the picture.

Pfeiffer isn't the only new name added to the Angelina Jolie sequel to 2014's Maleficent, which is a live-action retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

Doctor Strange's Chiwetel Ejiofor is also on board, and is rumoured to be a love interest for Jolie's character, as is Deadpool's Ed Skrein, who will play the film's villain.

Elle Fanning will be back as Princess Aurora, alongside Sam Riley as raven Diaval and Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Lesley Manville as the Fairy Godmothers.

The first official synopsis reads: "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 for Maleficent II has been announced, though we imagine a summer 2020 release is most likely at this point.
