The latest Aladdin casting has got people talking.
There have been plenty of Disney movies remade into live action films over the last few years, from Jungle Book to Beauty and the Beast.
But it was the news that Aladdin would be coming to the big screen once again that got us particularly intrigued.
Rumours about who is playing who have been moving faster than a flying carpet – but it’s shaping up to be a fantastic cast.
Mena Massoud will be playing the live action version of Prince Ali, and Power Rangers’ Naomi Scott will be playing Jasmine.
And, of course, Will Smith will be tackling Robin Williams’ iconic Genie.
It’s now been confirmed that Dutch-Tunisian actor Marwan Kenzari will be playing the role of Jafar, the Sultan’s evil adviser.
And the announcement sent fans into a frenzy – but not quite for the reason you’d except.
While everyone is excited this means the film is one step closer to being finished, Disney fans can help but notice one thing in particular…
Namely, it’s what he looks like that has got everyone talking.
