Angelina Jolie went 'full crazy' in returning role

Angelina Jolie has found a new home at the Mouse House.

The A-list actress and mother of six has worked sparingly over the past few years, but now she has three Disney-produced movies hitting theatres in the next 15 months, and she says she pulled out all the stops in a returning role.

Slipping back into the role of the eponymous villain in the sequel to 2014's Maleficent was surprisingly easy, Jolie admitted to Yahoo at Disney's D23 Expo over the weekend.

"I had fun with her. I do love playing her, and I missed my horns. It's almost weird — I don't know if that's good or bad - that I slide very easily back and forth from me to her,” she admits.

"And now in this one she has her wings in every scene. … So now she's full wings, full horns, full crazy."

Joining the Marvel world with The Eternals

The Oscar-winner also went into detail on her first foray into the Marvel universe.

Jolie became one of the highest-profile names to join the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when she was cast as Thena in The Eternals.

The film follows a group of immortal aliens played by a star studded cast including Richard Madden, Salma Hayek, and Kit Harrington.

"I am actually a big fan of the Marvel universe and everything (studio boss Kevin Feige has) done and what all the other artists have done,” she told Yahoo.

“So when you get the call that you might be joining, you feel like you've been called up for service, it's very exciting in fact," she said.

"You're just wondering, 'What colour am I gonna be? And what power do I have?' And you're still a little confused. It's still new for me, so I'm learning."

As revealed at a D23 panel on Saturday, Jolie will be decked out in gold as Thena.
