'Aladdin' Sequel in The Works

Many doubted the idea and plans for having a live-action adaptation of Aladdin and more so even doubted and questioned the casting of Will Smith as Genie.

The next thing we know, the film went on to become a massive success and also earning critical acclaim. It has now been confirmed that Aladdin is getting a sequel too.

Disney is developing a follow-up to the film with writers John Gatins and Andrea Berloff.

Sources say the movie is in early development, but after spending the last six months figuring out what direction to take the next film, producers look to have found their path.

Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who produced the original, are back producing through their Rideback banner, with Ryan Halprin executive producing.

It’s unknown at this time whether director Guy Ritchie will return. Producers hope to bring back stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott, but offers won’t be extended to the cast until a script is ready.

The film will be a theatrical release, not a Disney Plus title. The original animated movie had two straight-to-video sequels, but sources say this new take is completely original and not based on those ideas.
