Audiences have been loving the live-action remakes of Disney classics so far, with their most recent venture Beauty and the Beast taking in a staggering amount on it’s opening weekend. But the new Aladdin film is giving them a different kind of feeling, other than nostalgia.
Marwan Kenzari – who was in The Mummy – has just been cast as bad guy Jafar, and now fans don’t know who to root for anymore.

The Dutch-Tunisian actor even had people looking at the story’s plot in a new light entirely…
Now that you mention it, Aladdin DID lie straight out the gate, stalked Jasmine and put her life in danger. Finish him Jafar

Oh, but in case you’re not convinced about turning on our protagonist just yet… HOW BOUT NOW?
