Don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been dying with curiosity to see just what the heck Will Smith was going to look like as Genie in the upcoming live action ALADDIN. Will he be blue? Would he even be good for the part? The answers weren’t exactly what I expected, or wanted. See for yourselves in these photos from Entertainment Weekly and Will Smith's Instagram. We also get a first look at Jasmine, and a better look at Aladdin. We have seen what Aladdin looks like before in the teaser that was releaseed not too long ago.
What could Will Smith possibly have done to deserve this? Jada is gonna have to do a whole episode of “Read Table Talk” about this hair piece. pic.twitter.com/wMm5fysIg0

Is the top of his head taking a shit?
While I like Will Smith, I'm not so certain he's the best person for the part. To me, he lacks the energy, and doesn't really look it. He doesn't even look all that thrilled to be there in on that EW cover. If they are loyally producing a live action adaptation of the animated version, they should have gotten say...someone with a broader body type? I think Dave Bautista could have pulled it off well, Disney already owns his ass anyway, right? This is all I can say until I've seen the blue CGI version of him, which IGN says it is confirmed that is how we will see him through a majority of the movie. What we are seeing here is just his mortal form. Spoilers, am I right?
Jasmine looks just fine! They took away her middriff and turned it into something a little more conservative, but it still looks good!
What do you guys think about the look of these characters?
