The film stars Will Smith as the Genie; Mena Massoud as Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar; Navid Negahban as the Sultan; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia and Billy Magnussen as Prince Anders.
The new Aladdin trailer not only features more of Will Smith as the CGI Genie (or CGenIe, if you prefer) — it gives us our first taste of Will Smith rapping “Friend Like Me,” the Genie’s show-stopping musical number, originally performed by Robin Williams.
Aladdin opens in theaters on May 24.
The good news is the Genie doesn’t look quite so uncanny in this new trailer, and some of the other stuff looks promising, like Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott taking their magic carpet ride and singing “A Whole New World.”
