Live action Disney remakes have been all the rage the past few years. The movies are still kid-friendly while offering some serious nostalgia for adults. One of the live action remakes Disney currently has in the works is Aladdin. The 1992 animated version is a beloved classic, so people had their eyes on this one to see what Disney would do. The world recently got its first look at the cast of Aladdin in character, and people have shared varying opinions on Naomi Scott’s Jasmine, Mena Massoud’s Aladdin, and Will Smith’s Genie roles. However, it’s the public opinion on the film’s villain, Jafar, that seems to have surprised many.
If you remember what Jafar looked like in the animated version of Aladdin, you probably weren’t expecting much from the live action version. Although, when people got their first look at Marwan Kenzari’s Jafar, suddenly, the bad guy seemed pretty sweet. Fans of Aladdin were so impressed that he earned himself a new nickname: Hot Jafar.
