Surprise to no one, Disney’s Live-Action film Aladdin is getting a sequel! This news was reported by Variety.
This is what the people over at Variety had to say,
Following the massive success of last summer’s reboot, Disney is developing a follow-up to the film, tapping John Gatins and Andrea Berloff to pen the script.
Sources say the movie is in early development, but after spending the last six months figuring out what direction to take the next film, producers look to have found their path.
Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who produced the original, are back producing through their Rideback banner, with Ryan Halprin executive producing.
It’s unknown at this time whether director Guy Ritchie will return. Producers hope to bring back stars Will Smith, Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott, but offers won’t be extended to the cast until a script is ready.
The film will be a theatrical release, not a Disney Plus title. The original animated movie had two straight-to-video sequels, but sources say this new take is completely original and not based on those ideas.
My Thoughts
To me, I am a big fan of the Aladdin Live-Action so of course, I am excited about this news and Guy Ritchie should really come back.
