In October 2016, Disney announced Ritchie would direct a live-action Aladdin remake. Smith was the first member of the cast to join, signing on to portray Genie in July 2017, and Massoud and Scott were confirmed for the two lead roles later that month. Principal photography began that September at Longcross Studios in Surrey, England, also filming in the Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan, and lasted until January 2018.
Aladdin was theatrically released in the United States on May 24, 2019, and has grossed over $724 million worldwide, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 2019. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the costumes, musical score, and performances of Smith, Massoud, and Scott, but criticized Ritchie's direction and the CGI effects.
Cast
- Will Smith as Genie:
A comedically eccentric and kindly jinn who has the power to grant three wishes to whoever possesses his magic lamp. Smith said that he was "terrified" while playing the character, but that "[he] found a lane that pays homage" to Robin Williams' performance in the original film, while still making the role "[his] own thing".[9] Smith described the character as "both a trickster and a mentor" who tries "to guide Aladdin to the truth of the greatness that's already within him".[1] Smith physically portrays the character when he is in the guise of a human, while his blue genie form is CGI, portrayed through motion-capture performance.[10][11] - Mena Massoud as Aladdin:
An impoverished Agrabah thief and "street rat" who is smitten with the Sultan's daughter. With the Genie's help, he masquerades as Prince Ali Ababwa. Massoud said that Aladdin "sees a future for himself that's greater than what's been set out for him at the present moment. He doesn't know exactly what it is or how he's going to get there, but he knows it is out there", and felt the character "[i]s very selfless and usually does things for other people, but as he falls in love he loses himself a little bit and starts to become someone that he's not. But he's a good person with good intentions and has good people surrounding him who lead him back to where he's supposed to be".[1] - Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine:
The Sultan's daughter and the dazzling beautiful, courageous princess of Agrabah who wants to have a say in how she lives her life. Scott said that the character "will be strong and have fun, but also get it wrong and be emotional. She's a multidimensional woman, and she does not have to just be one thing. So in this movie, you see her go on such a roller coaster, as opposed to her one goal being to fall in love or get married". She further stated that Jasmine will try to find "the courage to speak out for her people",[12] and said that "Jasmine wants to know what goes on in her kingdom and reconcile the distance that has been created, and Aladdin gives her the courage to do just that".[1] - Marwan Kenzari as Jafar:
A nefarious and deceptive sorcerer, the Grand vizier of Agrabah and the Sultan's chief advisor who, frustrated with the Sultan's ways of ruling, devises a plot to overthrow the Sultan as the ruler of Agrabah by acquiring the Genie's lamp. Jafar's backstory is explored in the film, which producer Jonathan Eirich felt would make the audience "understand why he's so bad, and [he thinks] that's what makes him such a good villain".[1] - Navid Negahban as The Sultan: The wise and noble ruler of Agrabah who is eager to find a capable husband for his daughter Jasmine.
- Nasim Pedrad as Dalia: Jasmine's loyal handmaiden and confidante. Pedrad said that Dalia "[has] been by Jasmine's side for years and really looks out for her".
- Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders: A suitor and potential husband for Jasmine from the kingdom of Skånland.[11][13]
- Numan Acar as Hakim: The head of the palace guards who is loyal to the Sultan of Agrabah since his father worked for the Sultan as a palace servant.
- Jordan A. Nash as Omar: The Genie and Dalia's son.
- Taliyah Blair as Lian: The Genie and Dalia's daughter.
- Aubrey Lin as Omi
- Amir Boutrous as Jamal: A bread vendor who Aladdin tricks to keep him from taking disguised Jasmine's heirloom bracelet and is later revealed to work for Jafar until his death.
