QuoteDisney has officially found its Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie for the live-action ?Aladdin? remake. The three cast members were announced at the D23 Expo on Saturday.
The House of Mouse may have been having problems finding its titular Aladdin for the remake of the 1992 animated classic prior to D23 this weekend, but the same cannot be said for Jasmine and Genie. Naomi Scott has officially been cast as Princess Jasmine, while Will Smith will be taking on the Genie. Relative newcomer Mena Massoud has also joined the cast as Aladdin.
Guy Ritchie was previously announced as director.
John August, whose credits include ?Big Fish,? wrote the new ?Aladdin? script. Dan Lin, who produced Ritchie?s two ?Sherlock Holmes? movies for Warner Bros., is also producing ?Aladdin? through his Lin Pictures company. Jonathan Eirich is exec producing.
The original animated movie was a comic take on the Arabic folk tale of a young man granted three wishes by a genie trapped in a lamp.
?Aladdin? was the highest-grossing film of the year in 1992, and won Academy Awards for best score and best song for ?A Whole New World.?
Scott was most recently seen as the Pink Ranger in Saban?s ?Power Rangers.? Smith can be seen next in Netflix?s fantasy actioner ?Bright.? He is repped by CAA and Overbrook Entertainment.

The Mary Poppins movie isn't a remake. It's a sequel of sorts that takes place 25 years after the original.

Obviously not if South Asians are also up for debate.
To me growing up he was Arab tho, that's also the theme song. But the actual story is Chinese, and on Disney he's portrayed as ambiguous from "Agrabah", which could be Persian, Kurdish, whatever. He's certainly not "white" and most likely Middle Eastern.

China is a massive country. There are ethnic groups who look and act more like we perceive Middle Eastern people. Uyghurs for example are Muslims and eat, dress and talk much more closely to ethnic groups in Turkey than China.
