The upcoming Disney live-action ‘Aladdin’ movie will be directed by Guy Ritchie, the guy responsible for the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ film series.

Disney has announced the first names to be cast in the live-action reboot of the classic 1992 movie, 'Aladdin'.

The actor will continue the legacy set by Robin Williams in the classic 1992 Oscar-nominated animated film.

Smith will be joined by 'Power Rangers' star Naomi Scott  as Princess Jasmine and relative newcomer Mena Massoud('Saving Hope') as Aladdin.

Guy Ritchie is slated to direct the adaptation, but reports suggested he was having difficulty finding stars to appear in the film, as the director was urged to avoid “whitewashing” after Tom Hardy was linked to the film.
