Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Musical
Studio: Walt Disney Pictures

Is Aladdin 2 Happening?

Yes! After the success of Disney’s Aladdin (2019), which grossed over $1 billion worldwide, a sequel has been confirmed. Disney is developing a live-action Aladdin 2, but details remain scarce.

Originally, Disney planned a direct-to-streaming spin-off about Prince Anders (Billy Magnussen), but fan demand for a true sequel pushed them toward a full-scale theatrical release.

Possible Plot for Aladdin 2

The sequel is expected to be an original story rather than a remake of The Return of Jafar (the animated sequel to Aladdin). However, it may still feature Jafar’s revenge and new magical threats.

Possible Storylines:

1. Jafar’s Return

   • After being trapped in the magic lamp, Jafar could find a way to escape with even greater powers.
   • A new villain may release him, forcing Aladdin to team up with the Genie again to stop him.

2. Aladdin & Jasmine’s Rule

   • Aladdin is now Prince of Agrabah—but is he ready to be a ruler?
   • Jasmine wants to modernize the kingdom, but new enemies may try to overthrow them.

3. A New Magical Threat

   • A powerful sorcerer or ancient entity could challenge Aladdin’s new life.
   • Genie’s magic may be tested in ways never seen before.

4. The Return of the Genie

   • Now free, Genie (Will Smith) is living a mortal life—but what if he must regain his powers to help Aladdin?

Returning & New Cast (Expected):

• Aladdin – Mena Massoud
• Jasmine – Naomi Scott
• Genie – Will Smith (despite past controversies, he’s expected to return)
• Jafar – Marwan Kenzari (if his return is part of the story)
• New Villains & Allies – Possible new magical beings, rival kingdoms, or ancient warriors

Will It Have New Songs?

Yes! Since Aladdin is a musical, the sequel will likely introduce:
🎵 A new Aladdin song about ruling a kingdom.
🎵 A powerful Jasmine song continuing her female empowerment arc (like “Speechless”).
🎵 A fun Genie song, possibly about adjusting to mortal life.
🎵 A villain song if Jafar or a new sorcerer takes center stage.

Expected Release Date:

• Disney announced the sequel in 2020, but production delays have pushed it back.
• With Guy Ritchie working on other films, and no filming updates yet, Aladdin 2 could release in 2025 or 2026.

Final Thoughts

Aladdin 2 promises more adventure, magic, and romance, expanding Agrabah’s world while introducing new challenges for Aladdin and Jasmine. With Disney keeping details secret, fans eagerly await news on Jafar’s fate, Genie’s return, and new magical surprises.
