Naomi Scott Addresses Aladdin 2 Rumors
Fans of the 2019 Disney live action Aladdin have been buzzing about a possible sequel. The buzz grew louder when a production list claimed a shoot start on January 1 2026. Naomi Scott, who played Princess Jasmine, took to her social accounts to end the speculation. She wrote a short note that called the rumor fake and completely false. Her clear denial stopped the rumor mill in its tracks.
What the Rumor Said
The report on Productionlist.com listed a start date for Aladdin 2, named filming locations in London and the United States, and said that original cast members would return. It also quoted a fan account that messaged Scott for confirmation. The post suggested that the sequel would follow the original story of a street urchin who wins a princess with the help of a magic genie.
Official Response
Scott responded directly to the fan account. She wrote, “Fake boo, completely false.” The short reply left no room for doubt. The tweet from a Brazilian fan site also shared her statement, adding a screenshot of the message. No other cast members have confirmed any production plans.
Background on the Sequel
Disney first announced development on an Aladdin sequel in early 2020. Writers John Gatins and Andrea Berloff were attached to the script, and producers Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich were named. In early 2023, reports claimed that Will Smith would return as the Genie. Later that year, Mena Massoud said the sequel was very unlikely. A spin‑off focusing on Prince Anders also entered development in 2019, but that project never moved forward.
The original live action Aladdin opened in May 2019. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film earned over one billion dollars worldwide, making it one of Disney’s highest‑grossing live action remakes. Critics gave it mixed reviews, but audiences loved the music and the performances. Today the movie streams on Disney+ and continues to attract new viewers.
While the Aladdin 2 rumor sparked excitement, Naomi Scott’s clear denial reminds fans that no official announcement exists. Until Disney releases a formal statement, the sequel remains unconfirmed. Keep an eye on reliable sources for any future updates.
