Grab your magic carpet, it's time to go on another ride! According to The Hollywood Reporter, a sequel to Disney's live-action Aladdin [1] is in the works, with the starring cast [2] — Will Smith [3], Mena Massoud, and Naomi Scott — expected to reprise their original roles of Genie, Aladdin, and Princess Jasmine. Director Guy Ritchie [4] and producers Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich will also be returning.

It appears the sequel will be a reunion of sorts, but there are still a couple of new faces joining the crew: writers John Gatins and Andrea Berloff. The team have yet to confirm a storyline for this upcoming film, but rumour has it that Disney held a writers summit last year to brainstorm a follow-up. If all else fails, they can always use the animated sequels [5] as a reference point! Regardless, this next instalment will have some pretty big shoes to fill, since the first live-action film was a massive box office success and brought in over $1.05 billion globally. You can fulfil your wishes, and watch the full movie on Disney+ when it launches in the UK and Ireland on March 24 [6].
