In Cleopatra (2025), Angelina Jolie delivers a powerful portrayal of the legendary Egyptian queen in a sweeping historical epic that explores power, love, and betrayal. The film traces Cleopatra’s rise to the throne amid political unrest, showcasing her intelligence, strategic prowess, and seductive diplomacy.

The story unfolds with her fateful alliances with Julius Caesar and later Mark Antony, played by two major stars (TBD), as she fights to preserve Egypt’s independence from the expanding Roman Empire. As Rome grows more aggressive under Octavian, Cleopatra and Antony’s love becomes both a strength and a vulnerability.

The climax sees the lovers’ forces defeated at the Battle of Actium. Faced with capture and humiliation, Cleopatra stages her final act of defiance—choosing death on her own terms, embracing the mythic cobra.

The film ends with Cleopatra immortalized in legend, her legacy echoing across centuries as a symbol of power, beauty, and tragic romance.
