The Genie Stars In Aladdin’s Latest Trailer

Now I know where all those horrific parallels with Shrek are coming from.

The latest trailer for Disney and Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin, which drops in local cinemas on May 23, dropped earlier this morning. The primary star this time around is Will Smith’s bright blue genie, which mirrors the beloved look from the original animated film.

There’s not many lines from Will Smith here, although the small indication we get seems like Smith has taken a wisecracking approach to the character. That’s befitting not only Robin Williams’ classic performance – although his hyperactive speed can’t really be replicated – but also harks back to the days when Will Smith was one of the biggest stars on the small screen.

Along with Will Smith, Noami Scott and Mena Massoud will star as Princess Jasmine and Aladdin. We’ll find out how they all mesh together in Disney’s world in just over three months.
