The fans have been waiting to hear who would play the lead roles in the Live Action version of "Aladdin" and it is finally here. The news has been out for a while now that Will Smith would play the genie, which the fans love. Guy Ritchie has already signed on to direct the movie, which means that it should be a hit for sure. These two people had fans really excited, but now that more cast members are coming out the excitement for "Aladdin" is really building.
Who have they added to the cast now?
They have finally cast who will be playing Jasmine and Aladdin in the new movie.
The news came out at the big D23 Expo for Disney. This makes the fans really excited. So who got the big roles? Mena Massoud will be playing the role of Aladdin. If you don't know who he is, he is from "Jack Ryan." The role of Jasmine will be played by Naomi Scott. She should be a perfect match for the role of Jasmine.Everyone can't wait to see how they do in the role.
The fans of "Aladdin" are very hopeful that it will be a lot like the original of the movie. In the Disney cartoon, everyone loves watching the love story between Jasmine and Aladdin develop. It takes a bit, but in the movie, it ends with a happily ever after like most Disney movies, so hopefully, the live action one will end the same way.
This should be a great movie for children and adults both to enjoy.
