When Entertainment Weekly released exclusive images of Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin back in December, fans were a bit concerned about one aspect of Will Smith’s portrayal of The Genie: he wasn’t blue. Today, a new TV spot for the film offers the first images of Smith in all his blue-hued glory.
- The newly-released, minute-long spot finds the Diamond in the Rough entering the Cave of Wonders as Iago and Jafar watch on.
- With an orchestral version of “Friend Like Me” playing, we soon see Aladdin rub the lamp, revealing the Genie.
- Other elements of the spot also seem to show the Prince Ali section of the film and give us a look at Jasmine.
- In addition to Smith as the Genie, Aladdin also stars
- Mena Massoud as Aladdin
- Naomi Scott as Jasmine
- Marwan Kenzari as Jafar
- Navid Negahban as the Sultan
- Nasim Pedrad as Dalia
- Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders
- Numan Acar as Hakim
- Disney’s Aladdin jumps into theatres May 24th, 2019.
