Aladdin Having Trouble Casting Leads

Aladdin Having Trouble Casting Leads



Disney has been recently rebooting and remaking their classic animated films and bringing them in a live-action adaptation to the big screen, with recent financial success Cinderella, The Jungle Book, and Beauty and the Beast. Now, with the new live action Aladdin movie starting production, Disney is reportedly having trouble casting the lead roles. Reports have said that Guy Ritchie, who has signed on to direct the film, as well as Disney, has had trouble finding a middle-eastern or Indian male lead who can both act and sing. Reports have said that they have looked at actors of the like of Dev Patel, but are now back to square one when it comes to casting the leads. They have also looked at 2017's Power Rangers' Naomi Scott to star as Jasmine, but it is unclear whether or not they are going back to square one for that as well.
