WATCH: The new trailer for ‘Aladdin’ has landed!
During yesterday’s Grammy Awards, a brand new trailer for Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin dropped (see above).
The music brought on ALL the nostalgia, but then, came the TERROR…
Will Smith as a very blue Genie.

In December last year, Entertainment Weekly put the stars of Aladdin on their cover, showing Will Smith as a non-blue Genie, which had fans pretty annoyed.

So they gave the people what they want! A blue Genie! But… it’s had a pretty funny reaction. Instead of being pleased that Genie is his traditional blue hue, they’re terrified.

Will Smith as the genie looks like what one of those kids from the 90’s Fruit Gushers commercials would look like if they never found a cure for their fruit curse.
