A full trailer for the live-action Aladdin movie has materialized. The trailer for the Guy Ritchie-directed film was released Tuesday during Good Morning America, just a month after footage from the upcoming Disney movie came out at the Grammy Awards. Will Smith plays the prankster Genie, a role made famous by Robin Williams in the 1992 animated version. Mena Massoud plays Aladdin, with Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine. Smith's blue-skinned appearance in the Grammy footage already has sparked plenty of social buzz. But as the new trailer makes clear, blue is an optional choice for this Genie. There are times when he's not tinted in that color, whether to attend a party or just to lounge around. Massoud is loving his whole new world. "Still pinch myself sometimes at the idea of playing this iconic character," the actor tweeted. "His journey in this film is only something I could have dreamed of playing with. This trailer is only a sliver of the adventures you'll see this May." Still pinch myself sometimes at the idea of playing this iconic character. His journey in this film is only something I could have dreamed of playing with. This trailer is only a sliver of the adventures you’ll see this May. Get ready for a whole new world. #Aladdin pic.twitter.com/XQgcG6LI75 — Mena Massoud (@MenaMassoud) March 12, 2019 Some fans gave the new trailer a thumbs-up. Ok, the musical numbers in the new #Aladdin are looking pretty spot-on 🕺 pic.twitter.com/KbCr5WjG3d — Fandom (@getFANDOM) March 12, 2019 Amazing the difference a full trailer can make....definitely more interested in #Aladdin now. pic.twitter.com/N4BDyq2iFd — Jordan Maison (@JordanMaison) March 12, 2019 Others were down-right harsh, complaining that Marwan Kenzari, who plays villain Jafar, doesn't seem evil enough. Yikes. This is just one of those movies that was never meant to be live action. Jasmine should be smoking hot. Jafar should be scary. The lead looks mad lame. Will Smith is so obnoxious and not funny. It was a classic. A classic. Now this trash. — Liz 🏳️‍🌈 (@bklyn_goes_hard) March 12, 2019 much better but what an awful Jafar casting, doesnt look scary and his voice, omg his voice isnt intimidating, wth people, your are crippling one of the greatest villains of all time. — Guillaume Dauphinais (@delphs) March 12, 2019 Aladdin opens May 23 in Australia and May 24 in the US and UK.<doc-sep>The initial response to Disney's live-action Aladdin remake has been primarily dominated by fans roasting Will Smith's bluer-than-blue Genie, but that's not to say people aren't still excited by the prospect of director Guy Ritchie's take on the animated classic. They saw a few epic locales and a take on the film's iconic score in the first preview, and now that the first full trailer has dropped off of Disney's magic carpet right into fans' laps, people can finally anticipate some specifics. Take a look: Video of Disney's Aladdin Official Trailer - In Theaters May 24! With Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott taking on the roles of Aladdin and Jasmine, respectively, and Marwan Kenzari providing an absolutely sinister Jafar, the Agrabah-set film will give the wish-and-warlock adventure plenty of new life. Smith gets much more to do, actually landing many of his punchlines and showing off his magical abilities as Genie. He conjures a prince, raps, and poofs all over the place. Massoud runs through the plot — from the streets of Agrabah to the Cave of Wonders to the royal palace — while fans get a snippet of "A Whole New World" along with all the excess a live-action Disney film promises. What more could you want? A new poster? Well, they have that too: Source: Disney Aladdin makes its wish come true in theaters May 24.<doc-sep>
Aladdin (2019 movie) Close this dialog window Streaming Options Each Aladdin trailer grants a new wish. The first, gave us the initial glimpse of the live-action take on the world around Agrabah. The second showed us what would happen if Will Smith “blue” himself up as the guardian of the magic lamp. Now the full-length preview, released Tuesday on Good Morning America, gives us a taste of the music. Mena Massoud’s Aladdin and Naomi Scott’s Princess Jasmine take off on a magic carpet ride in the new trailer, performing for the first time a snippet of this film’s take on “A Whole New World.” The footage also teases Smith’s big number inside the Cave of Wonders with “Friend Like Me” and all the fantastical CGI pyrotechnics that go with it. There are also snapshots of the big “Prince Ali” arrival number and some recreations of the animated classic’s famous scenes. But there are new additions, as well. For one, we can safely assume that carpet chase between Aladdin and a gargantuan Iago comes towards the end in the great battle against Jafar. Directed by Guy Ritchie, Aladdin, the latest in Disney’s live-action interpretations of its animated library, also features Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, Navid Negahban as the Sultan, Nasim Pedrad as Jasmine’s friend and handmaiden Dalia, and Billy Magnussen in the new role of Prince Anders. The film will open in theaters this May 24. Watch the new trailer above and check out the film’s poster below. Close this dialog window Streaming Options Related content:
