Disney struggling to find an actor to play Aladdin in its live-action remake

[BATMAN]

They should chose an Arab actor

Why..... you can't stand a Pakistan?
Ali Zafar fits the role perfectly.

Hehe ....no...nothing like that...Everything is not about Pakistan...i like Ali zafar....But....

Aladdin himself was an Arab. So makes sense.

Plus Arabs could do with a softening of their image in the west. I think the last truly Arab Hollywood actor was Omar Sharif. I think it would be nice to see another Arab...not Egyptian this time....in a friendly role....makes a change from seeing Syrian refugees, ISIS, Iraq war, weird gulf sheiks and similar negative images on the tv screens all the time!

I also don't mind voting for that gentleman who thinks he should get the role because his grandfather was called "Aladdin"

How about Dominic Cooper, without beard, I think he is tanned enough for this role

Guy is an insane actor, very underrated though

Yeah maybe. But can he dance and sing, as its required for the movie?

Don't make an Indian play Jasmine for the love of God, they ruined Jasmine enough by turning her Arabian from Iranian and giving her a look that looks African.

Indians and gulf Arabs don't look much different, however no Pakistanis can play Jasmine for sure as general Pakistanis look more like Nordic people, very different from Indians and Middle Easternars, I would rather see an Arab, Indian or African playing Jasmine than a blonde, blue eyed Pakistani girl.

[Foxtrot Delta]

They should pick me for the role, i think

 

[Deliorman]

That's the only Aladeen I'm willing to pay for to watch on a big screen...

 

[friendly_troll96]

Shaz Khan

Or Imran Abbas

Deep truth man! If I had thought of it first, I would have said it!

The part is most likely to go to an American or Western European actor of color. If not, then next possibility is it will go to an Indian. Because at the end of the day it's about WHO you know as well as WHAT you know. several corporations like Reliance Entertainment already have stakes in Hollywood and connections already in place.

I'm still routing for an Arab actor though. They should get it.

Fawad khan, imran abbas, ali zaffar can do this easily.
