It's an absolute tragedy that Robin Williams isn't still around.

If it can't be Robin Williams will Smith is not a bad choice at all if he's on top of his game

It could be a ton of fun if he channels all he's got. I mean, playing Deadshot isn't something I'd recommended him doing. Genie? I mean, yeah, maybe.

Wow I thought they were going to hire somebody who had experience with this kind of role. Literally FURIOUS we aren't getting Shaq the greatest actor/wish granting magical being (not sure if Djinns and Genies are exactly the same otherwise I would've just said genie)

I would also accept Sinbad.

On a serious note hopefully Will Smith puts everything he has into the role. Genie is a beloved character and anything less than excellence will be met with disappointment because of how amazing Williams made the character. Still sad he's dead :(

I feel like mid-to-late 90's Sandler would be better than current Will Smith.

It was all sarcasm. I would totally be ok with Shaq doing a fake trailer though.

Will Smith is a better choice than every one of these.

Genie isn't just about being funny. He needs heart.

Once upon a time Carrey might've been a decent pick if only because he was also a high energy/eccentric/over the top type. I feel like a lot of comedy actors from the 90s have mostly had their careers spiral down into depressing tier >__>

So what you're saying is that Will Smith is a worse choice than every one of these, then.

Are there characteristics about Genie that require him to stay a man? Not to go all Ghostbusters here, but we seem to be hating on most other men we've named so far.

Maria Bamford could have found a fun take on the role.

I think he can't because filming for Shazam will conflict with that.
