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!)"
