“Aladdin”-spinoff meldes på vej til Disney Plus – nu raser shitstorm om skuespillerens hudfarve.
Billy Magnussen får lov til at gentage rollen som Prince Anders fra årets remake af “Aladdin”.
Disney+ arbejder således på et spinoff med fokus på Prince Anders, der var en konkurrerende bejler til Jasmine i “Aladdin”.
Jordan Dunn og Michael Kvamme skriver manuskriptet til dette spinoff til “Aladdin”, der solgte biografbilletter for over en milliard dollars, skriver The Hollywood Reporter.
Spinoff-projektet bliver annonceret i kølvandet på, at “Aladdin”-hovedrollen Mena Massoud har beklaget sig over ikke at være blevet tilbudt roller efter succesen som Aladdin.
Det får nu fans til at anklage Disney for racisme, da Billy Magnussen som eneste hvide skuespiller i “Aladdin” nu får tilbudt en egen film.
Dog arbejdes der angiveligt også på en “Aladdin 2”, hvor Mena Massoud forventes at gentage rollen som Aladdin.

Let me see if I have this right. @MenaMassoud comes out and says he’s had trouble getting auditions despite having LEAD the #Aladdin remake that grossed a billion dollars.
THEN, Disney orders a spinoff for the one white guy in the film?
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. https://t.co/Q7Fii68JX0

Billy Magnussen is a fantastically underrated actor who I feel doesn't get enough recognition.
That being said, very odd to announce this #Aladdin spinoff just days after Mena Messoud said he hasn't gotten a single audition since Aladdin debuted.
Relatively bad optics here. https://t.co/k5TyairXvC

So we had to wait a decade for the #BlackWidow movie, but the guy who had five seconds of screen time in this year's #Aladdin gets a spinoff? OK. Makes total sense.
