Spectacular return: See Angelina Jolie in her Hollywood comeback!

• Angelina Jolie is celebrating her return to Hollywood with the film “Maria”.
• The biopic is about the opera singer Maria Callas.
• Thanks to her collaboration with director Pablo Larraín, Jolie has a good chance of winning an Oscar.

Things were quiet around Angelina Jolie for a long time. Although many people remember the actress from “Tomb Raider” or “Maleficent – The Dark Fairy” and not only demonstrated her skills in front of the camera, she has withdrawn somewhat from Hollywood in recent years. Now Jolie is returning and will portray the legendary singer Maria Callas in the film “Maria”. Also known as the first diva.

The biopic is directed by director Pablo Larraín. After “Jackie” and “Spencer”, he once again dedicates himself to a strong woman. The turbulent but also tragic life of the opera singer, which she looks back on in Paris in the 1970s, is illuminated. The script was already completed by Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders”) before the writers’ strike, so now we just have to wait until the actors’ strike ends.

Although it will still be a while before filming can begin in Paris, Greece, Budapest and Milan, Larraín shared the first images of Jolie as Maria Callas. As Deadline reports, he said that he is very much looking forward to the production and, in particular, hopes that Angelina Jolie will bring audiences closer to the life and work of Maria Callas.

For Jolie, working with Larraín is a significant step. After all, the leading actresses in his last films were always nominated for an Oscar. Natalie Portman for “Jackie” and Kristen Stewart for “Spencer.” There is no theatrical release for “Maria” yet.
