Odd casting rumors aside, the live-action Aladdin remake remains in the early stages of development despite casting its most major roles.
The Guy Ritchie-helmed redo has already found its stars, casting Mena Massoud (The 99) in the role of Aladdin and Naomi Scott (Power Rangers) as Princess Jasmine.
Disney has found the actor to play one of Jafar’s top henchmen in its live-action Aladdin remake.
The veteran director gets a big chance to redeem himself with Aladdin and Disney’s built-in fanbase, but those questions will remain until the movie is released.
