Disney's new live-action Aladdin remake has already stirred up some controversy when the news broke out there will be a new character.
Billy Magnussen is set to play Prince Anders (new character) alongside Mena Massoud (Aladdin), Naomi Scott (Princess Jasmine), Will Smith (Genie), and Marwan Kenzari (Jafar).
This new character is causing controversy for two reasons 1. because Prince Anders was not in the original film and 2. because he is a non-Arab actor.
Aladdin is expected to open in theaters in 2019.
