One of the strongest fears regarding the live action adaptation of the Disney animated classic Aladdin it was in the rendering of one of his most memorable characters, the Genie in a Bottle. The first images of the film had sparked controversy regarding the look of the Genius that did not appear in his characteristic color. But a few hours ago Disney released a new live action movie trailer online where we can finally see Will Smith as the blue genius. And the actor seems to have rightly given his very personal interpretation to the character. For sure the look, all blue, is quite faithful.
The cast of Aladdin - directed by the director of Sherlock Holmes and King Arthur - Guy Ritchie, includes Mena Massoud in the title role, Aladdin, flanked by Will Smith in the role of the Genius, Naomi Scott in those of Jasmine.Marwan Kenzari is Jafar e Navid Negahban the sultan.
