Like Hardy, it’s not a bad choice, as Smith can certainly bring a lot of personality to the role, but it would be a very different personality than that of Robin Williams.
If Tom Hardy is considering taking on the role of Jafar, it wouldn’t be the worst choice in the world.
While we’ve never seen Hardy play a role quite like a Disney villain, that may be a good thing.
Rumors have indicated that Will Smith is potentially the one Disney is looking at to take over the role of the Genie.
