I swear when I clicked into this I thought it was Gambit vs Mal, not Gandalf.

Anyways, is this Jolie Mal?

Nope, the OG

She already got killed by one magic sword, and Gandalf has already taken on the armies of Hell with Glamdring. (Well OK, they were mostly Goblins, but still)

Intuitively I feel Gandalf should be able to pull it off, but I'm not sure how, and I'm certain he'd have a harder time of it than Phillip with he assistance of the Fairy Godmothers.

Specifically, Phillip was on the defensive during the dragon battle with an enchanted shield, and only got the killing blow with the sword because Flora turned on auto-aim. Maleficent also took direct sword strikes to the face to no visible effect, and the fire she throws out has a great deal of concussive force behind it, in that it blew apart the bridge to Aurora's tower.

While movie Gandalf's stamina is pretty up there, his shield requires some conjuring, and I honestly don't recall if he has any ranged options to contend with Maleficent summoning a storm and bombarding him with lightning at range.

He did "something" to drive off the Fell Beasts during the siege of Minas Tirith, when he went out to rescue Faramir and his companions.

Maleficent's lightning also had pretty epic range and did quite a lot of collateral before she even turned into a dragon.

1:50 onwards in the below video:

Well he did block strikes from the Balrog, and his lightning was enough to finally kill it. What's to say this won't be a repeat?

Because Gandalf needs to get into stabbing range to make this happen, while Maleficent doesn't unless she's feeling particularly spiteful.

Ah I missed it was Movie Gandalf.
