1. Damn… the doesn’t feel right at all… Aladdin is a hell of a movie, they should be more careful about how they manage these things, I mean the original will still be there, but this has or had the potential of being something amazing. I don’t know about you hahh.. but to me, that’s the fresh genie of bell air right there… I bet he even raps in the movie.

2. I can see the outrage smurfs and blueman groups are going to have over this! So not pc bro!?

3. Lol

4. He is gonna ruin the movie

5. if disney let the fans pick the cast from a few people who can act and look the part the movie would have not gotten this much hate.

6. He kinda looks like the guy who played genie in the broadway musical and that show was amazing.

7. They CGI almost everything in movies now Why!! couldnt they just CGI Genie? I Love Will Smith Hes an Awesome actor but!! Robin Williams as Genie is irreplaceable!! Always!! In my heart Robin Williams is Genie.

8. I'm pretty sure he'll be blue but only in his genie form(And if you look at his hands it hints that its still possible.) The Only reason he doesn't look blue right now is cause he's likely in his Human Form.

9. if a dude who look like took a dip on toilet cleaner, walking around agrabah that should raise flag all over the place, even the cartoon version he was in disguise, not until he was set free and everyone know him is a genie that he stop having to disguise his skin to look human…that and it save the animator time and money to color a lot of different colors during his impersonations of every known celebrity at that time. My biggest gripe is his main costume, i know they try to make him look closely as possible during not in his cgi moment, but it hurt my eyes, ''Once upon a time'' costume for genie was more subtle to the eye. I hope that he do impersonation and in costume for it as well…if he even does impersonation at all in the movie.

10. Man, I thought they where gonna use a real Genie…

11. Not Robin Williams not Blue. No thanks. ?

12. he is violent

13. That's not even Will Smith's final form.

14. You sure this isn't the broadway show?

15. U could do a CGI Abu but couldn't do a CGI Rajah??

16. Alladin's Genie without Robin Williams is like Men in Black without Will Smith

17. is ovious he would look human for most of the film, that was he can be in public more and get more screen time, like in the prince ali song he looked human so he could be in public

18. Next trailer?! We've had 0 TRAILERS!?

19. Feel like most people didn't even watch the part of the vid where will said on his Insta that for the most part he will be cgi and that is was just him in his human form

20. Wait I thought it was confirmed that he would be.

21. This is a pointless video, he will be blue that’s just his human form noobs

22. When films first put out an post like this it's always going to be controversial. I just dont an out Jennie that jokes about out dated memes in this movie.

23. Pathetic
    Insert simor the Simpsons principal

24. This looks really bad I have no interest in it but loved the cartoon!

25. They learned their lesson after they turned mr popo blue

26. Will Smith said that he will be blue most of the movie. And the one we saw was his human form.

27. Disney didn't want to go full 9/11.

28. He isn't blue in the massively successful stage show either

29. I wish there costumes could be more similar to the original movie let's hope

30. We don't mind aquaman not being white with blonde hair, but we care about a genie not being blue?

31. Looks like some dumb Bollywood remake

32. They Better not Ruin my Favorite Walt Disney movie!!

33. If you ask me Genie should be blue discreetly but when he is tagging along with Aladdin and Abu in public he should blend in with the common folk. Makes sense right?

34. Could not care less. The world needs original stuff. Not constant replays.

35. Uggh! Will Smith.

36. Genie does look like Goro!?

37. Cast should be arabic given where Aladdin is set.

38. That gene is HOT

39. The original Aladdin they were chinese and the genie was golden so there

40. If Will Smith doesn't do a music video then I'll riot

41. 1:00
    Dwayne the rock Johnson is genie.
    LOL.

42. Genie's not blue… ignores blue clothes.

43. Gaaaa
