It's time to see what Maleficent can do with her wings back.

On Monday, Disney reported Angelina Jolie will return to the role in Maleficent 2, although a release date has not been set. Screenwriter Linda Woolverton, who penned the script the firstMaleficent will be back to write the sequel.

The announcement was a surprise, given Jolie's hesitation in 2014. "I don't know," she told USA TODAY when questions of a sequel arose. "I enjoyed it. I just feel like we did this one thoroughly and I don't think there'd be another."

She added: "I feel like this is the one, if I was going to ever do a Disney one, this is the one I wanted to do. And I think we've done it well."

Jolie was recently abroad directing the Netflix movie, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers, based on the memoir from Cambodian author and human rights activist Loung Ung about surviving the deadly Khmer Rouge regime.

She and husband Brad Pitt are currently in London with their six children while Pitt shoots the upcoming WWII drama, Allied. The first Maleficent film shot outside of London at Pinewood Studios.
