She definitely isn't a finished article at the beginning of the movie, but she has this beautiful arc and progression, and she goes from asking for what she wants to just taking it, and displaying that she is a leader." Scott's Jasmine builds on the DNA of the animated iteration, who has long been celebrated for having a feminist point of view as she fought against being married off to just any prince, per the rules of Agrabah. Stepping into the role more than 25 years later, she says she was excited to spin her own twist on a Disney princess: "Jasmine's main objective at the beginning is to really protect her people and to do right by them.

"I like the fact that our Genie has an ego and is a little bit vain and he cares about how he's presented because he's been doing this for a very long time." After all, the Fresh Prince knows how to make an entrance. After a quick musical introduction, Smith's swagger shines through as he asks a dumbstruck Aladdin, "You really don't know who I am?

When Aladdin first stumbles across the lamp in the Cave of Wonders, a big cerulean cloud whooshes out of the spout, forming into Smith's goateed Genie, complete with a topknot. "I wanted a muscular 1970s dad," the director says. The final version of Will Smith's Genie in his blue floating lamp form isn't quite finished - the film is due in theaters on but Ritchie gives EW a tease of what he'll look like.
