Among the one due to get in this year areDumbo , Aladdin , andThe Lion King , the former of which open at the destruction of this calendar month ( with the latter two set to arrive in May and July , severally ) .
Disney droppeda full - duration trailer forAladdinonline this cockcrow , ahead of its run in theaters withDumboin a dyad of weeks . The preview featured appearances by just about every darling character from the studio apartment ’s original 1992 animated film , including the brute sidekicksAbu the Monkey , Rajah the Tiger , and Iago the Parrot .

concern : Aladdin : Biggest departure Between the Live - Action & Animated Films
Fans were set out to wonder if Iago would in reality talk in theAladdinremake , considering he has n’t spoken in any of the merchandising footage released so far . Well , wonder no longer : THRis confirming that Tudyk will voice the character in Ritchie ’s celluloid , drive over from Gilbert Gottfried . The latter voiced Iago in both the animatedAladdinand its lineal to video sequel , The Return of JafarandAladdin and the King of Thieves .
Tudyk has done a fair amount of voice - acting for Disney Animation in recent yr , having lend his vocals to films likeWreck - It RalphandRalph Breaks the Internet(where he voiced unlike character ) , as well asBig Hero 6,Zootopia , andMoana . He also played the droid K-2S0 inRogue One : A Star Wars Story(via motion - seizure ) and isvoicing The Joker in DC Universe ’s upcomingHarley Quinnanimated serial . answer it to say , Tudyk as Iago will undoubtedly vocalise very different from the quicken variation , if only because Gottfried ’s performing voice is so unique and difficult to imitate . Nevertheless , he ’s a great pick to bring the ( flight ) villain to life onscreen .
Speaking of which : it looks like the live - actionAladdinwill add a few twist to the Iago character that go beyond a new articulation doer . The movie ’s full - length trailer teases a succession where Aladdin is on the face of it being go after through Agrabah by Iago , who ’s been ( one presumes , magically ) made gigantic by his boss , Jafar . Ritchie ’s movie is expected to be more activeness - packed than the animate movie in general , in keeping with the director ’s previous workplace on series likeSherlock HolmesandThe Man from U.N.C.L.E.It ’s only appropriate , then , that Iago should get to join in the fun and track the " street betrayer " too .
