The movie also appears not to be doing any crazy CGI to alter Smith’s appearance, letting the Suicide Squad actor be visibly himself, while also playing the magical companion of Aladdin.
Will Smith is rocking a very ornate look for his version of Aladdin’s Genie, a stark juxtaposition to the original cartoon character.
Then again, the story by EW revealed the look is still being tinkered with, so we may see a more magical genie yet.
Rather than taking on a blue skin, the costume is bringing the color to the character.
