As Naomi Scott, the film's Princess Jasmine, and her cast mates teased yesterday, the very first look at Disney's upcoming live-action Aladdin adaptation is here. Disney released the teaser this evening, giving the first glimpse of what Mena Massoud (who plays Aladdin) looks like in his role. Missing for now is a look at Jasmine and the Genie, but that will come soon enough, presumably in the film's first trailer.
The first poster for the film teasing its May 2019 release date was posted yesterday by Will Smith, who plays Genie. He had a pretty excellent caption under it:

The group shot the film last year.
