Disney is hearing the wrath of the internet after they added a NEW WHITE PRINCE role in the new Aladdin Remake directed by Guy Ritchie!!
Billy Magnussen joines Will Smith, Naomi Scott and newcomer Mena Massoud in the live action remake of the beloved 1993 animated movie.
Billy will play another prince who plays Prince Anders, a new character who appears as a love rival for Princess Jasmine
The studio is being hit with accusations of whitewashing on social media for casting a white character in the Arab-style folktale set in the MIDDLE EAST..
Many were confused as to why a white character had to be added to the story when there never been one before.
One user said "I'm sick of all this whitewashing. First Death Note & now Aladdin? Ya'll just don't seem to get it"
NYT bestseller Jeetendr Sehdev asked whether Billy should step down over this new controversy.
Guy Ritchie even reportedly wanted TOM HARDY to play the villain JAFAR back in the summer.
The movie was already criticized for casting Naomi Scott, an Indian British Actress rather than a middle eastern star as Jasmine. Mena Massoud was born in Cairo, Egypt but raised in Canada
Billy was also criticized by his role in the bomb The Birth of the Dragon, telling the story of a young Bruce Lee challenged kung fu master Wong Jack Man in the 60's.
Do you think shoe-horning a white character in Aladdin is wrong? let's see what people think
Billy - New Character

wtf? this story takes place in ancient middle east. while some white people could have traveled there....I don't think a prince would. especially one named Anders. that sounds like a western european name, not someone from like Russia or somewhere near the middle east. this makes no sense and will be a giant plot hole. what the fuck are they thinking?
tbf, something like the Beauty and the Beast remake was pretty multi-cultural, despite taking place in France sometime in the 17 or 1800s

Hopefully this outrage, however warranted, will lead consumers to the truth; that Disney is utter trash.

yea and it's stupid because I don't think people from western europe usually married their princes off to middle eastern families. especially in the time period this is set in. it doesn't make any sense. it would make a tiny bit of sense maybe if he was russian. Anders sounds like German or French or English maybe. not sure which. but it sounds nothing close to the middle east. and no prince would travel that far to marry someone in that time period.
actually Indian would make more sense than Russian. but either way, this kinda pisses me off

Fuck these complainers. If all shows with a European setting have to be diverse them so do shows with minority settings.

your logic is flawed because it implies i am ok with the european settings being diverse. I'm not. I don't like it when any historical show has weird races pop up for no reason. I'm against the black people in Beauty and the Beast and in the BBC Merlin series. and I am against a white guy in Aladdin.

I'm more baffled that they feel the need to add a romantic rival than I am about him being white.

Aladdin is a pretty short movie IIRC. So they're probably adding some subplots like they did with Beauty and the Beast.

Historical records indicate the presence of a very small African population in Britain dating at least as far as the 12th century.
they definitely exaggerate how many black people were there, on the show

I honestly couldn't care less about them having a white prince who I assume will be Aladdin's love rival
What's Will Smith's role anyways? He voicing Iago or Abu or something? Oh god, he's the genie isn't he?
