New Look at Disney's Live-Action 'Aladdin' Reveals Will Smith's Genie

"You really don't know who I am…?" Disney has debuted a new "Special Look" 60-second TV spot for their upcoming live-action take on Aladdin, directed by British filmmaker Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., King Arthur). This new Aladdin stars Egyptian-Canadian actor Mena Massoud as the "street urchin" Aladdin, who falls for the princess Jasmine, played by Naomi Scott. In addition, Will Smith plays the genie and we finally get a good look at him here in all his awkward blue splendor. Oh boy, get ready. The full cast includes Billy Magnussen, Nasim Pedrad, Marwan Kenzari, Numan Acar, and Navid Negahban. This updated take on the 1992 animated Disney classic will feature new songs by Alan Menken and La La Land songwriters Benj Pasek & Justin Paul. The first teaser didn't show much and this trailer doesn't reveal much either, but at least we can now gawk and how weird Smith's genie looks.

Here's the latest "Special Look" TV spot for Guy Ritchie's Aladdin, direct from Disney's YouTube:
