When is aladdin being released

Here's what we know so far about Aladdin 2. Ritchie's Aladdin follows the beats of the original movie fairly closely, right to the end - where Aladdin tricks Jafar into using his final wish to transform himself into a genie, thereby becoming trapped and powerless in a lamp of his own.

Jafar's parrot, Iago, tries to fly away, but Jafar grabs him by the tail feathers and drags him into the lamp as well.

Before he vanishes into his new prison, Jafar vows to one day get revenge on Aladdin for what he has done - clear foreshadowing for a sequel, should Disney decide to make one.

As in the movie, Genie flings the lamp containing Jafar across the desert, commenting that a couple of thousand years in the Cave of Wonders ought to cool him off. However, that didn't stick for long the first time around, as Jafar returned just a year later in the direct-to-video sequel Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar. There are myriad ways in which Disney could bring the villain back for another showdown with Aladdin - but since this Aladdin 2 is set to be an original story, it won't simply be a Return of Jafar remake.

Beyond that, story details are being kept secret for now. In the Aladdin , Iago getting pulled into the lamp became a crucial part of the set-up for The Return of Jafar.

In that movie, the parrot manages to escape the lamp before Jafar, leaves his old master behind, and decides to try and ingratiate himself with Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Sultan. However, it isn't long before Jafar manages to dupe someone into rubbing the lamp and becoming his "master," thereby creating an opportunity for his revenge against Aladdin.

Let's be honest. Critically, Aladdin did not smash it out of the park. It's certainly not a masterpiece, but the film seems to have enough quality music, jokes, and characters, that general audiences loved it. Families and die-hard Disney fans alike enjoyed it and while not perfect, most can agree it's a fun movie. So yes, there will be a sequel to the live action Aladdin remake. An Aladdin 2, if you will. What will the live action Aladdin 2 be about? The plot will not be a shock to most people.

There's no question as to whether Disney will choose to copy this story for the next Aladdin film. Why create a brand new story when a plot is already available, free of charge? It makes the job a lot easier, and now all they have to do is adapt the story for the big screen. Since it has been hinted that the movie is not going to be a remake of The Return of Jafar, there is a possibility that we may not see Kenzari.

Guess we will only know more when an announcement on the cast is made. Since the movie is still in its early stages, no word has been out related to the plot. They only brought a few changes in the plot and stuck with the main core. It has been speculated that the sequel was going to be based on The Return of Jafar. However, this has been ruled out. It has also been mentioned that they are planning to take a new route for the film.

It may probably be for the best to create some new stories and play around ideas. However, this may come as unfortunate news for the fans who were hoping to see the remake of The Return of Jafar in a live-action movie. Let us know what you think can happen in the sequel?
