Disney is currently developing a live-action prequel to Aladdin. The film, tentatively titled Genies, will focus on the history of Aladdin’s big blue wish-granter. In addition to the prequel, THR reports “the long-term plan is to have the project lead into an Aladdin live-action movie,” and I have a few casting ideas that could help them get started right away.
You ain’t never seen a cast like this!
Aladdin: Brenton Thwaites
This young hunk would be the perfect fit for Aladdin. He’s proven his acting chops in films like The Giver and Maleficent, and growing up in the Australia means he can almost certainly relate to the arid climate of the fictional Middle Eastern city of Agrabah! Prince Ali? Brenton, it’s he!
Jasmine: Bella Thorne
17-year-old Bella Thorne is the spitting image of the young princess who spends her Arabian nights dreaming of escaping her palace and seeing the “whole” world. Thorne is one of Hollywood’s hottest It Girls, and her stunning red locks might just give one particular street urchin something else to be hungry for!
