Disney has found a great deal of success with live-action remakes of its most beloved cartoons and 2019 will see the release of Dumbo, The Lion King, and Aladdin. The first teaser poster for the latter has been revealed today and while it doesn't tell us much about what we should expect from Guy Ritchie's take on the classic tale, we do get to see that iconic lamp and a hint of the Genie's upcoming arrival.
He will, of course, be played by Will Smith and when the actor revealed this post on Instagram, he said: "LEMME OUT!! Can't wait for y'all to see me BLUE!" Does that mean an official reveal is coming? Almost certainly and it wouldn't be at all surprising if that lands before the year is over, especially as there are still quite a few big Disney movies on the way that the studio could attach the trailer to.
Ritchie penned the screenplay for Aladdin alongside Vanessa Taylor and John August. Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott star alongside Will Smith as Aladdin and Jasmine, respectively. Are you excited?
