The official synopsis of the film explains it will pick up several years after the first movie, where audiences learned why Maleficent had turned to villainy and cursed baby Princess Aurora.
Disney explain: “The film continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon to be Queen as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.”
It’s also clear from the trailers Aurora’s engagement to Prince Philip will be a huge source of conflict between the horned fairy and the young princess, especially when Aurora’s soon-to-be mother-in-law declares her as “her own daughter”.
Snoop Dogg went off on a rant on Instagram, as he joined the campaign for members of the U.S. Women's National Team who won the Women's World Cup on Sunday, to get paid like their male colleagues.
Centering his outburst on a report which revealed that the U.S. women's soccer players only made $90,000 per player in bonus money for reaching the quarterfinals, while the men would have made $500k for reaching the same stage, the rapper also took a swipe at their male colleagues who according to him can't move past the first round of any world competition but earn jumbo pay.
'The sorry-ass f***ing men from the U.S. soccer team, everyone's s***, ain't ever gonna win s***, can't even get out the f***ing first round,' the 47-year-old entertainer said on Instagram. 'Man, pay them ladies, man. 'Pay them girls what they worth.'
It was further learnt that after the big win on Sunday over Netherlands, the US Women National Team will reportedly walk away with $260k per player, while the men would have banked $1.1 mil each.
Effort to resolve the discrepancy have already been initiated by the team. Recall that in a lawsuit filed in March, the U.S. women alleged that the U.S. Soccer Federation has continued to pay them less than the men 'for substantially equal work.' The lawsuit goes on to mention a discrepancy in training and travel conditions, as well as an inequality in promotion and development.
