I want Bella Thorne to play Jasmine.

please god, let them not whitewash it

Of all the actresses in Hollywood

and this.

Messy racism incoming and then ATRLers saying "omg don't be such a SJW!!!" when the middle inevitably mixes up every single middle-eastern culture and confuses it with India and shows the usual harmful stereotypical negative tropes.

But hehe it's just a Hollywood movie it doesn't even matter!!1

Ugh


Anyway this is so exciting! I hope they cast someone hot for Aladdin. Will be interested to see who plays Jafar too.

Zayn for Aladdin and M.I.A. for Jasmine.

And of course Tyler Posey as Aladdin

One of my fave Disney movies but I probably wont watch since they will whitewash they f*ck out of it like everything else.

Jennifer Lawrence is rumoured.

Rami Malek as Aladdin and Frieda Pinto as Jasmin please

Probably a crap actor but still here for this, now if only he'd bulk up a bit

I would LOVE Rami but I doubt they'd go for him, he looks a bit too creepy (in a good way) for Aladdin. Not to mention he's quite old to play the part. Wasn't Aladdin like 19-20 tops? Rami is like mid 30's

Though Rami could def pull off a guy in his 20's.

Edit - yeah Aladdin is 18.

Watch them white washed it...
There are plenty of middle eastern actors that could fill these roles Rami malek/Riz ahmed/Haaz Sleiman for aladdin & Zoe saldana/Alia Shawkat/one of the hadid sisters for jasmine. They wouldn't dare whitewash this after embracing lupita nyongo lmao

Zayn isnt Arab, however he is a brown person so its ok if we don't look too deep in it but then CAN HE ACT??

Will probably be Jake Gyllenhaal

Frieda Pinto for Jasmine and Sir Ben Kingsley for Jafar.
I pray for whoever is selected to play the Genie. Robin Williams >>> everyone's version of Genie.

I don't see them whitewashing any of the main characters after promising to only cast Chinese actors for Mulan, but I do see them throwing a white side character in there
