Disney has released the first poster for its Angelina Jolie starrer Maleficent.
In the artwork, Jolie’s Sleeping Beauty villain is shown peering out from behind a dramatic black cape that covers part of her face. She also sports an elaborate black headpiece. Jolie’s pale skin, red lips and intense green and brown eyes starkly contrast her black wardrobe and the poster’s black backdrop.
