That’s a pitch-perfect description of a Guy Ritchie hero, but Ritchie’s own style remains distinct enough that the live-action Aladdin movie will feel different from the rest of the upcoming remakes.
He was not born into affluence or power; he’s a scrappy kid who lives on the streets and gets by with his wits, agility, and brawn.
Aladdin is wholly distinct from most other Disney princes because of his rougher origins.
Ritchie already had a personal interest in doing a Disney film before he officially signed on to this particular project, so it almost feels serendipitous.
