The stars are out for the much awaited premiere of Disney's Aladdin in London
Producer Daniel Lin, director Guy Ritchie, cast members Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Will Smith and Marwan Kenzari and producer Jonathan Eirich attend the premiere of Disney's live-action 'Aladdin' in London, Britain May 9, 2019.
Speaking to Reuters at the musical film’s premiere in London on Thursday, the 50-year-old actor and rapper said his first reaction about taking on the role was: “Hell no, no way.” The film follows the 1992 movie plot that saw poor street hustler Aladdin fall in love with headstrong Princess Jasmine, but director Guy Ritchie said the story “needed updating.”
That character is played by “The 33” and “Power Rangers” actress Naomi Scott, who will also star in the upcoming “Charlie’s Angels” remake.
