Film & TV News Watch New Promo for Disney's Live-Action Aladdin, Featuring First Look at Will Smith's Blue Genie The movie, featuring the songs of the original 1992 animated film and new tunes, arrives in theatres May 24.

Walt Disney Studios dropped another sneak peek of its new live-action Aladdin during the 2019 Grammy Awards February 10. Check out the video above.

The special look offers our first glimpse at Will Smith as the Genie his full, azure glory, following a decidedly less blue appearance in photos released back in December. Disney released the first teaser trailer in October.

The Guy Ritchie-helmed film arrives in theatres May 24.

In addition to Smith, the movie stars Mena Massoud in the title role, Naomi Scott as Jasmine, and Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, as well as Nasim Pedrad and Billy Magnussen in new roles created specifically for the new adaptation.

While moviegoers will hear the beloved Alan Menken-Tim Rice-Howard Ashman songs from the original 1992 animated hit, the new take will also feature new material and additional lyrics from Dear Evan Hansen and The Greatest Showman duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

The stage adaptation of the Disney favorite continues to play Broadway's New Amsterdam Theatre.
