Sing along…  “I can show you the world.” 

Disney can FINALLY show us the live-action world of “Aladdin!”

They have found their Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie. Finally!! It took them long enough!

The three cast members were announced at the D23 Expo on Saturday.

Apparently, Aladdin was the easiest to cast. Jasmine and the Genie were the roles that took a little longer to fill.

Aladdin will be played by Egyptian-Canadian Mena Massoud. Jasmine will be brought to life by the gorgeous Naomi Scott (she was the Pink Ranger, in the new Power Rangers movie), and Will Smith will be granting wishes and joking it up as the Genie!

Guy Ritchie will be directing.

 

The live-action version of “Aladdin” has a lot to live up to… the original animated “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.”

 

What do you think of the cast? Were these the right choices?
