Agrabah has found a raw ruler for Disney ’s live - action remake ofAladdinwith Navid Negahban rounding out the cast . It was just announced byAladdinco - star Will Smith that cinematography is officially underway on Guy Ritchie ’s live - action retelling of the darling 1992 animated feature film . In piddle the announcement , Smithshared a cast photoof the core group of actors that will join him on this journeying . Mena Massoud is set to lead the way , while Naomi Scott will present Princess Jasmine and Marwan Kanzari will run Jafar . Smith , meanwhile , is taking on the iconic role of the Genie .
However , the official start of production onAladdinonly further highlighted that a few key persona in the vivify feature had not yet been vomit up for the live - action rendition , one of these being the ruler of Agrabah and Jasmine ’s father . However , it has now been revealed that a formerHomelandstar has landed that persona .
Disney has officially foretell the full cast forAladdinand in doing so , revealed that Navid Negahban will play the Sultan . He will join the aforesaid names and others in fetch the animated classic back to life on the big screen in live - action . Negahban not only had a recurring role onHomeland , but also previously seem inAmerican Sniperand had a recurring theatrical role on24 . Below is the crush release issued by Disney announcing the integral cast ( along with contingent about their characters ):
Casting for “ Aladdin , ” the live - action adaptation of the studio ’s animated classic , is over and output is presently underway at Longcross Studios outside London .
The “ Aladdin ” dramatis personae includes : Two - time Oscar nominee Will Smith ( “ Ali , ” “ Men in Black ” ) as the Genie who has the power to grant three wish to whoever possess his wizardly lamp ; Mena Massoud ( Amazon ’s “ Jack Ryan ” ) as Aladdin , the hapless but loveable street rat who is soft on with the Sultan ’s daughter ; Naomi Scott ( “ Power Rangers ” ) as Princess Jasmine , the Sultan ’s beautiful girl who wants to have a say in how she lives her aliveness ; Marwan Kenzari ( “ Murder on the Orient Express ” ) as Jafar , an malign necromancer who formulate a villainous plot to unseat the Sultan and predominate Agrabah himself ; Navid Negahban ( “ Homeland ” ) as the Sultan , the ruler of Agrabah who is eager to find a proper married man for his girl , Jasmine ; Nasim Pedrad ( “ Saturday Night Live ” ) as Dalia , Princess Jasmine ’s hand maiden and confidante ; Billy Magnussen ( “ Into the Woods ” ) as Prince Anders , a suer from Skanland and likely husband for Princess Jasmine ; and Numan Acar ( “ Homeland ” ) as Hakim , Jafar ’s right - hand man and header of the castle sentry duty .
The insistence dismission come at the perfect clock time and , apparently , has revealedAladdin ’s chief casting in its entirety . All of the case description fall the right way in line with how the character were portrayed in the original animated moving-picture show , while also give more information on some of the player that are unexampled to the live - activeness version . This support that Pedrad will play the role adequate to Jasmine ’s good ally , whereas Magnussen will be a fellow suer vying for Jasmine ’s deal in marriage ceremony .
However , these change and the fact that this is the stark dramatis personae forAladdincould exemplify one or two major changes as Disney adapts the animated feature to live - natural process . Jasmine ’s " best friend " in the animated feature was her pet tiger Rajah . By giving her an factual human beneficial friend to confide in , it could be a signal that the alive - natural action remake will not admit Rajah . However , since he did not speak , Rajah could very well still be admit , but just have a diminished role when it amount to learning what Jasmine is thinking and feel .
The other lose nexus is Iago , Jafar ’s faithful and evil dame sidekick . Since his inclusion body would be as a speak part , leaving Iago out of this press spillage and put it as the complete cast makes it vindicated ( for now ) that the hoot wo n’t be included . Removing both Iago and potentially Rajah could be one way to keep the moving-picture show feeling somewhat naturalistic , but it also will include a indirect request granting genie , magic , and a flying carpeting . While it ’d be bang-up to see either or both animal characters appear , they may not be as polar as their animated vis-a-vis , should they ultimately be admit . Let ’s just hope Abu does n’t get left out as well .
