Aladdin 2 has been confirmed by Disney!

The movie will follow 'The Return of Jafar'.
  • 26 Sep 2019

In what might possibly be the most exciting news ever, an Aladdin sequel is supposedly in the works, after the initial live-action remake was a roaring success.

We're definitely in the era of remakes, and who can blame the film industry? This year alone, Disney has made over $2.5 billion at the global box office from their remakes of The Lion King, Aladdin, and Dumbo.

So why not cash in on a sequel?

Aladdin 2 has been confirmed by Disney!

Speaking to SYFYWIRE recently, Aladdin's producer  Dan Lin was asked about the possibility of remaking The Return of Jafar, the 1994 sequel to the original Aladdin in 1992.

“We’d love to,” Dan told the publication. “People clearly loved the movie and watched it multiple times and we get lots of fan letters and people asking us to make ‘Return [of] Jafar’; and I can just tell you that we’re in early stages right now, but we’re certainly talking about another movie.”

He added, “Like with ‘Aladdin,’ it will not be a straight remake of any movie that’s been made before, so we’re looking at ‘where’s the best way to go with these characters?’ … The audience response has really touched us in thinking about where we can go with these stories, and we feel like these characters have more adventures in store.”

At the end of the 2019 remake, Aladdin (Mena Massoud) wished that Genie (Will Smith) would become human. In the movie we see Genie in human form with his family telling the story. However, Jafar has now been put into the lamp as the new Genie, clearly leaving many possibilities for the story to continue.

Original director Guy Ritchie might return to direct the sequel as well.

“I think that’s certainly the hope,” Dan Lin continued to tell SYFYWIRE. “He made this movie for his kids. … He certainly loved the experience, I think both he and Will Smith — even before the box office success, they said it was the best filmmaking experience of their lives and they had so much fun doing it. And we’d love to have Guy back and get the team back together. If we do another ‘Aladdin’ movie, we’d certainly love to have him at the helm.”
