The director already has a “concept” for the second part.
I would love to. I cannot describe how much I enjoyed this experience. We’ll wait and see. We’ve been brainstorming ideas for a while now, but it would be great to do it, it would be great to come back.
replied Guy Ritchie.
Aladdin was the ninth highest-grossing film of 2019, also featuring a remake of The Lion King directed by Jon Favreau. The Lion King turned out to be the second biggest production of the year right after Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame . Disney is developing a sequel to this film. Barry Jenkins will direct a prequel titled Mufasa: The Lion King .
In 2019, producer Dan Lin said that a potential Aladdin sequel would tell a new story. The original animated film led to two sequels – The Return of Jafar , Aladdin and the King of Thieves , and a three-season animated series.
We’re looking at a lot of different source material, and it’s not going to be based on one single piece of material. We’re going to take the best of everything that’s been done before and create something fresh and new. We feel there are more stories to tell. We’re going to treat it the same as the original Aladdin movie and not do a shot-by-shot remake of anything that’s been done before.
Dan Lin said.
If we see Aladdin 2 , it won’t be based on the animated version. It will be a completely new, original story.
Mena Massoud, who played Aladdin in the live-action film, announced last year.
Will Will Smith return as Genie?
Guy Ritchie said he wouldn’t hesitate to ask the actor back, despite all the controversy surrounding the Oscar scandal. The actor slapped presenter Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
I have never met a more charming man and working with him was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. I never saw him as anything other than a generous gentleman. I would have no problem casting Will Smith in any movie.
Aladdin is available on Disney+.
