Aladdin is one of many live-action adaptations in the pipeline from Disney and is set for release in 2019 alongside Tim Burton’s Dumbo and Jon Favreau’s The Lion King. The film has recently come in for some criticism due to the production “browning up” white extras for background performer roles.
Aladdin is set for release on May 24th 2019 and features a cast that includes Mena Massoud (Aladdin), Naomi Scott (Princess Jasmine), Will Smith (Genie), Marwan Kenzari (Jafar), Navid Negahban (The Sultan), Nasim Pedrad (Dalia); Billy Magnussen (Prince Anders) and Numan Acar (Hakim).
