Guy Ritchie’s « Aladdin » opens on May 24,2019.
Following the success of Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and The Jungle Book (and, soon, The Lion King, which is going to make ALL the money), Disney is giving the live-action remake treatment to Aladdin. It’s one of the Mouse House’s most beloved animated films, with an instantly iconic performance from Robin Williams as the Genie. In the new Guy Ritchie-directed Aladdin, however, the magical blue dude is being played by Will Smith.
“Whenever you’re doing things that are iconic, it’s always terrifying,” the Suicide Squad actor told Entertainment Weekly .
