Do you think it's wrong that they shoe-horned a new white character in Aladdin?


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

Did Will smith walk away from Suicide Squad? Did Samuel L Jackosn walk away from Avengers? Heath Ledger wasn't American but he played Joker he should have walked away an American actor would have done it better. O.o

I assume the character is a foreigner visiting to woo Jasmine or something? If so who cares. If they try to pretend he's a native that would be dumb.
