Make way for Prince Ali in new Aladdin clip

Walt Disney Pictures has revealed a new clip (via IGN) from their upcoming live-action Aladdin, featuring the Genie’s extravagant musical number that highlights the arrival of Aladdin as Prince Ali. Check out the video in the player below!

Two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith (Ali, Men in Black) stars as the Genie in the new film alongside Mena Massoud (Amazon’s Jack Ryan) as Aladdin, the hapless but lovable street rat who is smitten with the Sultan’s daughter. Naomi Scott (Power Rangers) stars as Princess Jasmine, the Sultan’s beautiful daughter who wants to have a say in how she lives her life with Marwan Kenzari (Murder on the Orient Express) as Jafar, an evil sorcerer who devises a nefarious plot to unseat the Sultan and rule Agrabah himself.

Aladdin also stars Navid Negahban (Homeland) as the Sultan, Nasim Pedrad (Saturday Night Live) as Dalia, Billy Magnussen (Into the Woods) as Prince Anders, and Numan Acar (Homeland) as Hakim, Jafar’s right-hand man and head of the palace guards. In addition, Wreck-It Ralph‘s Alan Tudyk has also signed on to voice Jafar’s iconic parrot sidekick Iago.

Aladdin is directed by Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) from a screenplay by John August (Dark Shadows, Big Fish) based on the 1992 animated film Aladdin and stories from “One Thousand and One Nights.” The producer is Dan Lin (The LEGO Movie) with Golden Globe winner Marc Platt (La La Land), Jonathan Eirich (Death Note) and Kevin De La Noy (The Dark Knight Rises) serving as executive producers. Eight-time Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid) provides the score, which includes new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and Oscar-winning lyricists Howard Ashman (Little Shop of Horrors) and Tim Rice (The Lion King) as well as two new songs written by Menken and Oscar and Tony Award-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen).

The film is set to debut in theaters May 24.

Fred Armisen’s five best roles

ComingSoon.net is counting down our five favorite movies and TV shows starring Fred Armisen, who has had many terrific roles throughout his years as an actor. Check out our choices in the gallery below!

A former Saturday Night Live comedian who never stopped pursuing comedy—whether it be sketch or sitcoms or feature films—in the years after leaving the show, actor and musician Fred Armisen is nothing short of a one-of-a-kind comedic connoisseur. He really is a virtuoso in the truest sense of the word, managing to juggle leading the band on Seth Meyers’s late night show while starring in his own television shows, never showing any signs of fatigue or phoniness.

In addition to some hilarious SNL characters, Armisen is responsible for one of the best sketch comedy shows ever as well as a hilarious satire of documentaries that seems like it was made for an incredibly small audience, a venn diagram intersection of absurdist humor and spoofs of famous documentaries. No matter where he goes from here, it can be certain that Armisen will always be interested in making people laugh in his own unique way.

New Dark Phoenix poster reveals every hero has a dark side

Fox has released the Dolby poster for Dark Phoenix, the latest film in the sprawling X-Men franchise that (once again) looks to bring the Dark Phoenix saga to the big screen. Based on the image, it’ll be the moment that tears the X-Men apart. You can check out the poster below!

In Dark Phoenix, the X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together.

Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.
