<br />Will Smith is reportedly in talks to star in an upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s “Aladdin”!<br /><br />According to Deadline, the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire" star is in early talks to reprise the “Genie” role made famous by Robin Williams in the animated film back in 1992 and we can’t think of anyone better.<br /><br />The original Disney animated film brought in $504 million and launched a new merchandising line, which when translated into 2017 numbers must have studio execs tongues wagging.<br /><br />Disney’s latest live-action remake “Beauty and the Beast” has already pulled in $1 billion worldwide so we can see why Disney would be interested in bringing back this story for a new audience.<br /><br />The film will be a live-action musical and would work well with Smith who was known as The Fresh Prince rapper before he hit it big as an actor. The production is getting ready for a 6 month shoot, starting in the U.K. in July and wrapping early 2018.<br /><br />And while it’s still early, we think Will makes almost too much sense for this role.<br />
