There has been a lot of speculation over the casting of Aladdin after a report surfaced that director Guy Ritchie has been having trouble finding his leads. This led to the internet giving suggestions with the clear favorite to play Aladdin being Avan Jogia. He took to Twitter last night to shoot down the reports that he is a frontrunner for the role.

Naomi is best known for starring in the recent Power Rangers reboot as Kimberly, the Pink Ranger. Mena is set to star in the upcoming Jack Ryan television series.

The casting was announced at Disney’s D23 Expo on Saturday (July 15) along with lots of other cool Disney news.

Mena Massoud has been confirmed as the star of the upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s Aladdin and luckily for us, he has shared lots of hot shirtless photos on Instagram over the past year!

The newcomer put himself through a fitness challenge last year and the main photo here is from his starting point. Click through the pics in the gallery to see his progress.

“My 4 month transformation post. Not as lean as I’d like to be, but gaining muscle mass & cutting fat at the same time ain’t easy,” Mena wrote on Instagram after his four month challenge was completed in November 2016.

“2016 has been an incredible year so far. I’ve already experienced the biggest changes in my life over the course of the past 10 months. It’s almost as if, life has taken me by the hand and led me to a plethora of places that I never really thought I would go,” Mena added. “I’ve realized, more than ever, that there are a lot of things in life you cannot control. More things than you think. In fact, there are very few things in life, far and few between, that are fully and absolutely in your control. But it’s those things that you can and do control that end up having the greatest reward on your life. Never set goals and stop when you achieve those goals. That is the biggest disservice you can do to yourself. Because goals – goals are just the beginning of a legacy. Live. Dream. Love. Grow.”

Here’s your first look at Will Smith as the Genie in Aladdin from Entertainment Weekly‘s latest cover!

The cover image features the three leads of the movie in character – Will as the Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, and Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine.

About playing the Genie, Will said, “Whenever you’re doing things that are iconic, it’s always terrifying. The question is always: Where was there meat left on the bone? [Original Genie] Robin [Williams] didn’t leave a lot of meat on the bone with the character.”

Will continued, “I started to feel confident that I could deliver something that was an homage to Robin Williams but was musically different. Just the flavor of the character would be different enough and unique enough that it would be in a different lane, versus trying to compete.”

The movie will hit theaters on May 24, 2019.

Mena Massoud is all smiles during an interview at the Build Series on Monday (May 6) in New York City.

The 27-year-old actor opened up about the process he went through to book the role of Aladdin in the new Aladdin movie.

“I sent in an audition tape when it came out to the world. They had put on all these public casting calls and my agent sent me a request to put in a tape. And then we didn’t hear anything for four months. Usually, as an actor, if you didn’t hear back in a month, it’s usually dead in the water, so I moved on from it as actors do and I forgot about it,” Mena said.

“Four months later we get a call… so from that point things picked up. I did another tape. I flew to London twice to test for it with Naomi [Scott] a few times. And then I booked it,” he added.
