The Genie from Disney's animated "Aladdin" is an iconic character, mostly because of what Robin Williams did with it. They can never replace Robin Williams, but Disney needs a new Genie for the live-action version of the film in the works.
And they might have their man.
According to reports, Will Smith is in talks to take on the genie role. The adaptation of the animated film will follow in the footsteps of the recently released "Beauty and the Beast," which has already grossed over $1 billion worldwide.
What do you think? If anyone is going to pick up the roll, I feel like Will Smith would be a decent choice. He has a great sense of humor.
