UAE audiences might have to wait a little longer to venture into A Whole New World, but for now we can whet our Aladdin appetites by watching the cast flit between international premieres.

Several screenings of the Disney classic, given a live-action reboot by British director Guy Ritchie, were held in London and Berlin over the weekend.

The cast have been in marketing overdrive over the past few days, with three high-profile events and several photo calls to scrub up for.

Scroll through the gallery above to see more pictures from the Aladdin screening's many red carpets.

On Friday, Egyptian-born actor Mena Massoud (Aladdin), American star Will Smith (Genie) and British actress Naomi Scott (Princess Jasmine) joined their fellow castmembers at the London premiere and photo calls.

Smith even surprised fans with an impromptu appearance at a "magic lamp stunt" held in Leicester Square.

Afterwards, it was onwards to Germany for the Berlin premiere.

The trio continued goofing about on the red carpet, taking selfies and posing with fans.

The trio will help bring the fictional city of Agrabah to life in Aladdin, which hits screens in the UAE on May 23, along with cast members such as Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negahban, Nasim Pedrad and Billy Magnussen.
