</a><p>One of the great things about Disney's Maleficent</a>, as well as its upcoming sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil</a>, is that it shows audiences a whole new side to the famed villain. In fact, after watching the films, you just might come away realizing that Maleficent isn't a villain at all - at least that's what star Angelina Jolie</a> is hoping. In our exclusive clip, above, Jolie sits down with costars Michelle Pfeiffer</a> and Elle Fanning to discuss the true villain of the film, and why being bad onscreen is so freeing as an actress.</p><br /><p>"I don't think Maleficent is bad. I think she's the nicest person," Jolie jokes before dissolving into giggles. "I think [Queen Ingrith] is a more effective villain." Pfeiffer and Fanning agree, with the latter adding that Ingrith is "bad to the bone."</p><br /> <p>Related: Everyone's Favorite Disney Villain Is Back in the New Trailer For Maleficent: Mistress of Evil</a></p><br /><br /><p>The sequel is set several years after the first film, continuing the story of the complex relationship between Maleficent and Princess Aurora (Fanning), and how Prince Phillip's mother, Queen Ingrith</a>, comes into play. For Pfeiffer, taking on the role of the evil queen was a joy as an actor. "It's so compelling, living through these characters, through these women that get to be smart and bad," she says.</p><br /><p>Watch the fun clip above, and make sure you pick up tickets to see Maleficent: Mistress of Evil in theaters on Oct. 18</a>.</p>
