"In celebration of the release of Maleficent, we decided to include the contemporary version of the evil queen, the Jolie version, inside of the game," Vignocchi said. "She is actually one of the strongest characters inside of the game. She has the highest damage per second, or DPS, as we call it in game development terms, and she also has one of the strongest super moves in the game.
"She can hold her own against Iron Man and Thor and these other various characters, and then Angelina Jolie had actually been the first celebrity to reach out through our studio channels for a copy of the first version of Disney Infinity and the various characters. So, when we were just wrapping up the first one, we had heard that and used that as an opportunity to inquire if we could include Maleficent out of the game."
