“You really don’t know who I am?!” he asks Aladdin at the end of the sneak peek. “Genie? Wishes? Lamp? None of that ringin’ a bell?”<\/p>\n

Will also took to Instagram and proved he’s a man of his word when it comes to his on-screen character roles.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I told y’all I was gon’ be Blue!!” he shared<\/a>. ” Y’all need to trust me more often! #Aladdin.”<\/p>\n
