Jolie looks different this time around from the 2014 original live-action film.
She has her wings, which she did not have on during most of the first movie. And she is decorated in what appears to be claws or bird beaks.
There is also one on her forehead.
And the estranged wife of Brad Pitt is seen holding a green crystal ball wizard staff which looks to hold much power.
The beauty has rings on her long, manicured fingers as well.

She looks still innocent but also a bit worn her down from seeing much quarreling in her short lifetime.
A light blue ribbon around her neck make her look like she’s from another era.
The trailer opens with a group of faeries flying around the huge castle, while Ingrith narrates, revealing she ‘remembers the story of an evil witch,’ as we get a look at Maleficent’s horns.
‘And the princess she cursed to sleep forever,’ Ingrith continues, as we get a new look at Fanning’s Aurora, about to prick her finger on the spindle.
Ingrith adds that the story, ‘became legend,’ while the prince proposed to Aurora, giving her a ring, as the faeries all fly away from the trees as Aurora and the prince embrace.
Ingrith then goes on to say that, ‘this is no fairy tale,’ before Maleficent says, ‘There are many others who prey on the innocent’ as Maleficent is seen entering a grand hall, before she addresses Ingrith directly.
‘I’m sure your kind would agree,’ Maleficent says, as a nervous King John (Robert Lindsay) looks on.
‘If I didn’t know better, I would say you’re making a threat,’ Ingrith says, which Maleficent turns back on her.
Release date: Maleficent: Mistress of Evil hits theaters October 18 in the US and UK
