Angelina Jolie: Maleficent (Maleficent, 2014)

Angelina Jolie brought a magnificent, bone-chilling majesty to the screen as Disney’s most notorious dark sorceress in this retelling of Sleeping Beauty.

Clad in imposing horns and razor-sharp cheekbones, Jolie exuded a fiercely menacing aura wrapped in a complex layer of betrayal and dark power.

Her commanding presence and wicked, green-flamed magic proved that a feared, curse-casting villainess can completely dominate the box office.

She would later reprise the role in the 2019 sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.
