In the 2025 live-action reboot of Aladdin, the story mirrors its 2019 predecessor but deepens character arcs and weaves darker themes. Aladdin (Mena Massoud returns) still lives as Agrabah's cunning “diamond in the rough,” but this time his thievery is hollow—lacking purpose—until he discovers a hidden prophecy tied to Jasmine (Naomi Scott). Jasmine, now princess and visionary leader, grapples with arranged marriage politics enforced by her father and Jafar, the sinister vizier hungry for power.
Aladdin stumbles upon Lamp of Light, unleashing a new version of Genie—Will Smith reprises the role, more world-weary but still joyous. Genie senses the prophecy: Aladdin is Agrabah’s “true light-bringer.” Bonded, they plot to break the prophetic curse. Meanwhile, Jafar launches an insidious scheme: using forbidden dark magic to graft his mind into the Sultan's body to seize the throne.
Tensions mount: Aladdin’s street-smart friends—Abu, Iago (redeemed), and Nasim Pedrad’s Dalia—support him in infiltrating the royal palace. Jasmine discovers Jafar’s coup and, defying royal protocol, teams with Aladdin to stop him. The trio storms the throne room. Jafar’s takeover succeeds—but as he's crowning himself, Genie intervenes in a heart-wrenching moment, sacrificing his divine powers to save Aladdin, nullifying the transferred curse. With Genie now mortal, the balance breaks: Jafar's magic backfires and he vanishes, entrapped in his own spell.
In a bittersweet epilogue, Genie walks free—blending into Agrabah’s society, free of magic. Jasmine becomes ruler, Aladdin her equal. Their love story concludes with the iconic song “A Whole New World,” reinterpreted to celebrate mutual leadership and prosperity. The prophecy fulfilled, they lead Agrabah into a golden era.
