When the first images from Disney's upcoming, live-action remake of Aladdin debuted last year, fans were enraged that Will Smith wasn't rocking the iconic blue-cloud look of the original animated film. Smith just appeared to be, well, Will Smith - albeit with a different hairstyle than usual.
Thankfully, following the criticism, the film's director stated that Smith will in-fact appear as a blue-cloud - just not all the time. Thanks to some seemingly leaked promotional artwork we've now gotten our first look at how Smith will look in this mystical and gaseous form.
The below pics surfaced on Instagram (@la_stregatta_luna) and depict what is clearly Smith's likeness emblazoned on a muscular cloud-man. The promotional artwork itself appears to be for a mug - which also features the fitting "At your service" line. Flip through the below Instagram post to see all the pics.
“Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, the film is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney’s “Aladdin.”
Aladdin is set to arrive in theatres on May 24th, 2019.
