\"This is a beautiful night, it's been a long time coming,\" said Smith. \"Two years to get here, and I'm on this red carpet with a movie that I love and I'm excited to have the world see it.\"

Smith said he's equally excited about the updates made to the new Aladdin compared to the original.

It's been reported that this iteration of Jasmine is more empowering and has a surprise ending no one could expect.

\"The idea that her character wants to rule -- that added such a new flavor to the interactions between Jasmine and Aladdin,\" Smith said. \"And then the new song 'Speechless,' I think, is the greatest accomplishment of this movie.\"
