Disney gave fans a first-look at the live-action version of the 1992 animated film Aladdin on Thursday (October 11). The film stars Will Smith as the genie, who was originally voiced by the late Robin Williams.
Though we (understandably) don’t get to see Smith in the trailer, we do see director Guy Ritchie’s take on the cave of wonders, where Aladdin — the diamond in the rough — finds the magic lamp.

When addressing whether Smith’s role in the film would at all mimic that of Robin William during CinemaCon, Disney executive Cathleen Taff described Smith’s performance as “a little Fresh Prince, a little Hitch and a whole lot of attitude.”
Smith unveiled the film’s official poster on Instagram, adding “[I] can’t wait for y’all to see me blue.”
Aladdin opens in theatres May 24, 2019.
I think the question we all want an answer to is.. will they cast a white girl (or somebody who passes as white) to play Jasmine? And will the genie or the parrot be a homosexual? I mean its a (((Hollyweird))) production so we know it has to have a strong anti-white message in it, gotta have that race-mixing and gay agenda in it.
White people playing victim these days is so hilarious to me.
Hey Shlomo! How’s Tel Aviv this time of the year?
You say that but look at Scarlett Johansson. White, but can’t play a trans person because she isn’t one. While you’re laughing at your racist thoughts, think of that.
I dont think Will Smith. I am a huge fan of both Robin Williams and Smith since I was a kid. I am looking forward to the new movie. I watched every episode of Fresh Prince of bell Air. That show is definitely missed. As si far as Hitch. Well he did awesome. IT will be hard to play William’s roll. Let’s give Smith a chance. He always has a sense of humor. I read some of other peoples comments. Racial has nothing to do with anything. ITS HOW GOOD YOU CAN PLAY THE ROLE. I KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT ACTORS. Just by watching them and viewing them constantly.
