The Genie from Aladdin quickly became one of the most beloved characters in the studio's already impressive roster when Robin Williams voiced the character for the 1992 animated film.

Will Smith’s live action genie strives to be human, but also to find meaning in family. He actually has a love interest just like Prince Ali of Ababwa in the film, played by Nasim Pedrad.

For the Genie’s new look, director Guy Ritchie says he wanted Smith to have an imposing, but not overly buff appearance. “I wanted a muscular 1970s dad,” he says.

For instance, when Genie sings that Prince Ali is “strong as 10 regular men” in the cartoon, there’s a visual gag of Genie magically giving Aladdin the power to juggle 10 men.

Director Guy Ritchie is creating a whole new world with the live-action remake of Disney’s “Aladdin.” Entertainment Weekly revealed a series of first-look photos of the upcoming film.
