A trailer for Disney's live-action remake of Aladdin is on the way, but what time exactly will it release? Disney has many remakes of their classic animations in the works, but one of the biggest has to be the tale of a diamond-in-the-rough street rat meeting a Genie and becoming King, due in May 2019
Following in the footsteps of Jon Favreau (The Jungle Book/The Lion King) and Bill Condon (Beauty and the Beast), Aladdin is directed by Guy Ritchie, who is bringing his British gangster style to the classic 1991 animation. The movie stars Mena Massoud as Aladdin himself, Naomi Scott (Power Rangers) as Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari as Jafar and, most intriguingly, Will Smith as Genie. The film has wrapped production, but we're yet to see a proper taste of what Ritchie's cooked up with his Aladdin reimagining. That'll all change very soon.

Today Disney released the first Aladdin poster, promising a proper first look on Thursday, October 11, almost certainly. They didn't provide a time, but using knowledge of how the Mouse House releases its marketing, we expect the Aladdin trailer to release around 9am EST/6am PST/2pm BST.
The reasoning for our estimate is simple. The trailer isn't dropping as part of a TV show (such as Captain Marvel's trailer on Good Morning America), so will likely be an online premiere, which are typically on the hour early in the morning. Additionally, this time slot matches the likes of Dumbo and Beauty and the Beast. If the Aladdin trailer isn't online by that time, then expect it by 12 am EST/9am PST/5pm BST at the very latest.
As for what you can expect to see in the Aladdin trailer, the big thing is the Genie. This was teased with Will Smith's Instagram share of the poster, and given that image showed off the lamp (his prison), it would make sense for the marketing to lead with the magical being - especially as Smith needs to convince fans that he's up to the task of filling Robin Williams' smoke cloud. A look at Massoud's Aladdin and Scott's Jasmine are also likely, although it's worth bearing in mind this will be a teaser trailer and so may be light on full reveals; the Beauty and the Beast teaser only showed Belle obscured and the Beast's enchanted rose.
Whatever the Aladdin trailer shows when it's released, be sure to check back in with Screen Rant after it drops for a look at Will Smith's Genie and a breakdown of all the reveals.
