Following reports earlier this week that Guy Ritchie was struggling to cast his live-action Aladdin adaptation, Disney has announced the principle cast members.
Previous reports suggested Scott and Indian actress Tara Sutaria were in contention to play Jasmine, but the casting was delayed until Aladdin was cast due to the pair’s chemistry being key.
Meanwhile, rumours are circulating online that Tom Hardy may be in contention to play the villainous Jafar, something Disney failed to clarify.
Over the weekend, the Disney convention D23 took place, numerous snippets of information being released, including a new look at Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
