On July 15, 2015, the studio announced the development of a live-action comedy adventure prequel called ''Genies''. The film was being written by [[Mark Swift and Damian Shannon]], while [[Tripp Vinson]] was on board to produce via his Vinson Films banner. It was intended to serve as a lead to the live-action ''Aladdin'' film.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/aladdin-live-action-prequel-works-808895|title='Aladdin' Live-Action Prequel in the Works at Disney (Exclusive)|work=The Hollywood Reporter|last=Kit|first=Borys|date=July 15, 2015|access-date=December 11, 2019|archive-date=November 22, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191122135419/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/aladdin-live-action-prequel-works-808895|url-status=live}}</ref> On November 8, Disney revealed that it had originally planned to use Robin Williams's unused lines from the 1991–92 recording sessions for the film, but that his will prohibited the studio from using his likeness for 25 years after his death in 2014.<ref>{{cite news|title=Robin Williams' will prevents use of outtakes for 'Aladdin' sequel|last=Putnam|first=Lindsay|url=https://nypost.com/2015/11/08/robin-williams-will-prevents-use-of-outtakes-for-aladdin-sequel/|work=[[New York Post]]|date=November 8, 2015|access-date=November 14, 2015|archive-date=November 14, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151114211509/http://nypost.com/2015/11/08/robin-williams-will-prevents-use-of-outtakes-for-aladdin-sequel/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Production had originally been scheduled to begin in July, but was delayed due to Disney having trouble finding the right people to play Aladdin and Jasmine. British actress [[Naomi Scott]] and Indian actress [[Tara Sutaria]] were being considered to play Jasmine. For the role of Aladdin, British actors [[Riz Ahmed]] and [[Dev Patel]] were initially considered, but it was decided that a newcomer should be cast in the role.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/aladdin-movie-disney-struggles-find-stars-1019690|last1=Ford|first1=Rebecca|last2=Galuppo|first2=Mia|title='Aladdin': Disney Struggles to Find Stars for Its Live-Action Movie|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|access-date=July 11, 2017|date=July 11, 2017|archive-date=July 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170711155829/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/aladdin-movie-disney-struggles-find-stars-1019690|url-status=live}}</ref> In July 2017, it was announced that Egyptian-Canadian actor [[Mena Massoud]] had been cast as Aladdin, Scott as Jasmine, and Smith as the Genie.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2017/film/news/aladdin-will-smith-naomi-scott-jasmine-cast-mena-massoud-d23-1202496767/|title='Aladdin': Disney Casts Will Smith, Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott|website=Variety|date=July 15, 2017|access-date=December 10, 2017|archive-date=July 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170715232330/http://variety.com/2017/film/news/aladdin-will-smith-naomi-scott-jasmine-cast-mena-massoud-d23-1202496767/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.accesshollywood.com/articles/aladdin-disney-announces-live-action-cast-including-will-smith-as-genie-/|title='Aladdin': Disney Announces Live-Action Cast Including Will Smith As Genie|website=Access Hollywood|access-date=July 15, 2017|archive-date=July 17, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170717013528/http://www.accesshollywood.com/articles/aladdin-disney-announces-live-action-cast-including-will-smith-as-genie-/|url-status=live}}</ref> At the 2017 [[D23 (Disney)|D23 Expo]], Menken announced that he would be cowriting new songs for the film with [[Academy Award]] winners [[Pasek and Paul]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/VIDEO-Pasek-Paul-to-Team-with-Menken-on-Live-Action-ALADDIN-Miranda-Confirmed-for-LITTLE-MERMAID-20170717|title=VIDEO: Pasek & Paul to Team with Menken on Live-Action ALADDIN; Miranda Confirmed for LITTLE MERMAID|website=Broadway World|access-date=July 17, 2017|archive-date=August 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822180708/https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/VIDEO-Pasek-Paul-to-Team-with-Menken-on-Live-Action-ALADDIN-Miranda-Confirmed-for-LITTLE-MERMAID-20170717|url-status=live}}</ref> while [[Vanessa Taylor]] would rewrite the script.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/disney-live-action-aladdin-rewrite-game-of-thrones/|title=Disney's Live-Action Aladdin is Getting a Rewrite|website=screenrant|date=July 17, 2017|access-date=December 11, 2019|archive-date=September 19, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170919095851/http://screenrant.com/disney-live-action-aladdin-rewrite-game-of-thrones/|url-status=live}}</ref>
