Disney has successfully brought to life talking jungle animals and dancing silverware in their live-action remakes of classic animated films, but Aladdin has always seemed like it would be their biggest challenge. How do you bring to life a giant, floating blue genie? Now we have an idea, as new images from the film have given us our first look at Will Smith‘s genie. Let’s just say he looks very different from the character Robin Williams voiced. Entertainment Weekly‘s new inside look at the film includes the first official images of Smith, whose genie isn’t rotund or blue (yet). In this form the ponytailed Smith looks like a human cosplaying as either a genie or a stylish pirate, but this isn’t his normal look. Smith clarified on his Facebook page, saying, “Yes, I’m gonna be BLUE! This is how the Genie is in Human/Disguise Form. My character will be CGI most of the movie.” However, they still haven’t finalized how he will look floating in his lamp, which director Guy Ritchie said will look like a “muscular 1970s dad.”

EW also shared a behind-the-scenes video showing the film’s brightly colored sets that should make fans of the original happy.
