Aladdin fans in China have a reason to cheer as the live-action adaptation of Disney's 'Aladdin' is set to release in China on May 24, the same day as in North America.

Variety confirmed the same. 'Aladdin' stars Will Smith, who plays Genie, and Canadian newcomer Mena Massoud as Aladdin, in the twelfth remake of the animated Disney classic. The trailer of the film came out in March and featured British actress Naomi Scott essaying the role of Jasmine. The film is being helmed by Guy Ritchie.
