THE ALADDIN LIVE action remake is fast becoming a very real addition to the influx of Disney reboots.
Our new Aladdin has been cast, with relatively unknown Mena Massoud taking the role. Naomi Scott will play Jasmine, and Will Smith will voice the Genie. But what about the classic Disney villain, Jafar?
Reports point to Marwan Kenzari as the man for the role. THIS guy
You might recognise the Dutch actor from his recent appearance in The Mummy, and The Promise and Ben Hur in 2016. He also won the Angela Award at Kilkenny Film Festival 2013 for his role in Wolf. We know a promising prospect when we see one.
The Guy Ritchie directed remake is set to start shooting this month in London, but people have already began declaring their alliances to the evil side.
Um, is anyone going to be on #TeamAladdin?

We’ll reserve judgement until we see him in costume
Just spare a thought for poor Jasmine
The whole script could change
Maybe we can just rename the movie as ‘Jafar’?
