Last week Mousand took to instagram to post a short video from the set. He said they have been working on the "Friend in Me" number and he said that co-star Will Smith is "the best cast mate I could ever ask for" and that we "are gonna have so much fun watching this," he said.

The movie is more than a year away so it's going to be some time before we see some footage from this one. It has a pretty good cast and people seem to enjoy the live-action movies if the box office for Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book are anything to go by.

A live-action retelling of the 1992 Disney film of the same name.

Aladdin, directed by Guy Ritchie, stars Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Will Smith, Marwan Kenzari, and Numan Acar. It will be released on May 24, 2019.
