During this year’s Grammy Awards, viewers were treated to a new trailer for the upcoming live-action Aladdin film.

The newest trailer includes a first look at Naomi Scott as Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, and Will Smith as Genie (in blue). Entertainment Weekly previously gave readers a look at the upcoming characters. But the images included the Genie in his human form.

“Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future.

Aladdin will hit theaters on May 24, 2019.
