Multiple outlets confirm Aladdin 2 is officially in the works at Disney. 

The project is in early development, but it is known that Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who produced the original, will be back producing through their Rideback banner, with Ryan Halprin executive producing.

It is unknown if Guy Ritchie will return to direct, and according to Variety, offers to the film’s stars, Will Smith, Mena Massoud, and Naomi Scott, won’t be extended until the script is written. 

2019’s Aladdin was a massive hit and became the fourth film to cross the billion-dollar global box office milestone.

The Disney+ exclusive is another installment in Disney’s live-action remake venture, following The Lion King, Aladdin, and Dumbo. Forthcoming live-action projects include Mulan and The Little Mermaid. 

Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux voice the titular canines. Janelle Monáe, Sam Elliott, Benedict Wong, and more round out the cast.

Disney has finally dropped the first full trailer for its live-action remake of The Lion King.

Less than two minutes long, the trailer features scenes from Simba’s birth and the African savannah, Simba and Nala exploring the elephant graveyard, Simba’s exile at the encouragement of his uncle Scar and a glimpse of Simba, Pumbaa and Timon singing together.

The trailer confirms that the remake is an almost shot-by-shot take on the classic 1994 animated film.

The film, directed by Jon Favreau (The Jungle Book), features a star-studded cast including Donald Glover (Simba), Beyoncé (Nala), Seth Rogan (Pumbaa), Billy Eichner (Timon), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar), John Oliver (Zazu), and James Earl Jones (returning to voice Mufasa).

The Lion King is one of three Disney classics that got the live-action treatment to hit cinemas this year with Tim Burton’s Dumbo released last month and Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin set to hit theaters in May.

Variety reports that Disney’s new adaptation of Aladdin will feature the film’s classic and much-loved musical repertoire as well as two new tunes, which will be added to the mix. The news was teased by the film’s actor Mena Massoud, who stars as the titular character at this year’s GQ Men of the Year party.

We’ve got all the original music in there, plus a couple of new songs,” Massoud told the outlet. “They’re really empowering. I gotta say one is very empowering for women, I think people are going to really, really dig it. The other one is awesome as well. We got the same guys who did La La Land and The Greatest Showman, we’re in good hands.”

The Guy Ritchie-helmed film is definitely taking its cues from the original animated film, but now we know that new sounds will definitely be added to the magical world of Agrabah.

The trailer, which dropped Thursday in between Thanksgiving dinner courses, has officially broken viewing records for Disney making it Disney’s biggest preview with more than 224 million views in the 24 hours following its release.

Disney’s live-action Lion King sneak peek now boasts the title of the second most viewed trailer in a single day from any studio, second the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, which holds the record with 238 million views.

The Jon Favreau-helmed remake features similar technology used for Favreau’s The Jungle Book remake, which means its more CGI than live-action, but either way, fans couldn’t stay away.

Disney continued to capitalize on its property by updating and reinventing its classics. Other live-action remakes include Aladdin and Mulan. The Lion King was released in 1994 and is one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time, with $968.8 million.

The film has tapped a stellar voice cast including Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, John Oliver as Zazu, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, and Billy Eichner as Timon. The new Lion King will include songs from the original animated pic.

The Lion King is scheduled for theaters on July 19, 2019.
