Guy Ritchie says he has ideas for 'Aladdin 2.'
When Disney decided to remake the classic 1992 animated film Aladdin into live-action, it was up to writer-director Guy Ritchie to make that transition. In the end, the film was a success and ended up making over $1 billion, with a talented cast led by Mena Massoud and Will Smith.
Recently, Collider's own Steven Weintraub had the chance to sit down and talk to Ritchie about his upcoming film Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. In discussing Richie's other projects, Weintraub asked Ritchie whether he would want to do a sequel.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY I'd very much like to. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that experience. It was a great experience. That whole Disney thing, as you can imagine, is such a professional outfit. Just from that perspective, it was so much fun. I would very much like to, we'll wait and see. We have been kicking some ideas around for some time now, but it'd be great to do, it would be great to go back there.
With the success of Aladdin and the positive experience Ritchie had on the project, it does make sense that he would be up for a return. The 2019 film made a total of $1.05 billion at the global box office and is still the highest-grossing film that Ritchie has ever directed up to this point, nearly doubling the runner-up, 2011's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows .
Ritchie's next film, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, arrives in theaters on March 3. You can check out the interview between Weintraub and the writer-director below which also includes an update on Sherlock Holmes 3.
