But fear not, everyone! Smith has assured that Genie will indeed be blue come time for the movie to arrive in theaters next summer.

As is often the case with big reveals for big movies, Will Smith took to Instagram to share the Entertainment Weekly cover he appears on alongside his co-stars, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott as Aladdin and Jasmine, respectively. Smith is well aware that Disney fans have a certain expectation and, in the caption he provided with the photo, the star offers some reassurance to those who have concerns. Here's what he had to say.

Bam!! First look at the Genie, Princess Jasmine, and #Aladdin! Check Me Rockin' the Top Knot Ponytail Vibes in entertainment weekly (and yes, I'm gonna be Blue!)"

I really hate this remake bullshit. It's so stupid. I will say Cinderella was good though, to be fair.

The problem is Guy Ritchie is directing.

What the fuck do they think WIll Smith can add to one of Robin William's greatest performances? Cynical cash grab.

The thought process was that there was NOTHING to improve upon or add to the animated genie, so they went in a completely different direction.

Tbh what'll make or break whether I see this or not is his Friend Like Me performance. At least I'll still have Dumbo and The Lion King next year.

tbf Dan Castellaneta's Genie was super convincing in Kingdom Hearts. But a live-action remake is a completely different ballgame.


They should have taken the cue when one of the world's greatest voice actor's just manages a passable imitation that it was time to put the genie away in a museum forever

Sorry I just get so annoyed by shit like this.

Will Smith is extremely talented. There's a well done interpretation of the Genie he can make

Jungle Book was totally fine. Why are people so negative about this one?

I didn't ask for A Wrinkle in Time, but I'm not mad at it for existing
