Melissa McCarthy brings holiday magic in 'Genie' trailer

In the upcoming Peacock film, Genie, Oscar-nominated actress Melissa McCarthy takes on the role of Flora, a magical genie who turns the life of a man called Bernard Bottle around. Portrayed by Emmy-nominated actor Paapa Essiedu, Bottle is depicted as a man whose life is falling apart. While enduring a painful trial separation, he is also a victim of job loss. A chance encounter with Flora offers promise as she has the power to realise all his wishes, leading to a series of hilarious modern-day adventures. With a supporting cast that includes talents such as standup-comedian Marc Maron, Remember Me actor Tate Ellington, and others, Genie promises to be a classic holiday fairytale about the power of friendship and family. The film is set to premiere on November 22, just before Thanksgiving, on Peacock.
