The magic carpet is back, and the stakes have never been higher.
Aladdin 2: Shadows of the Sands (2026) imagines a thrilling return to Agrabah, expanding the world of the beloved fairy tale into a darker and more epic adventure. As the golden city enters a new era of peace, an ancient sorcery begins to rise from the shifting desert dunes—an ominous force capable of swallowing Agrabah in shadow.
A New Threat from the Desert
The sequel introduces a mysterious, long-buried power awakening beneath the sands. This is not a villain driven only by ambition, but a curse tied to ancient magic and forgotten history. As the desert itself becomes dangerous, the kingdom must face the truth that some forces were never meant to be disturbed.
Jasmine Becomes a Warrior-Queen
Naomi Scott returns as Jasmine, more commanding and radiant than ever. This chapter elevates her role dramatically, transforming her into a true warrior-queen. She trades palace silks for royal battle armor, embodying both elegance and strength as she leads Agrabah with fierce intelligence, courage, and resolve.
Her evolution signals that this is not only Aladdin’s story—it is a story about leadership, sacrifice, and a ruler prepared to fight for her people.
Aladdin’s Evolution
Mena Massoud returns as Aladdin, now fully evolved from a street thief into a strategist and defender of the kingdom. The sequel emphasizes his growth into a hero who leads not through status, but through heart, agility, and sharp instincts. His wit and creativity remain his greatest weapons as he fights to protect the city that gave him a home.
The Return of Genie and Familiar Faces
The magic is not complete without Genie, and Will Smith returns to bring charisma, humor, and heart back into the story. Marwan Kenzari also returns, adding intrigue and tension to a sequel that promises both emotional stakes and spectacle.
