I thought this was a joke
Who? Smh another live action we never asked for
And yet Mena Massoud can't even get an audition. Wtf.
I have no clue who this is and don't remember seeing this character in the movie. Looks like Spencer Pratt
The top three comments here are about starkid and that’s amazing nooneremembersachmed
The only white guy and forgettable at that.
MENA THE ACTOR THAT ACTUALLY PLAYED ALADDIN CAN’T GET A CALLBACK. Hire MENA
Being white has its privileges ... 'I haven’t had a single audition since Aladdin came out.” Mena Massoud opens up about life after Aladdin.
This is real?
Didn't the star of Aladdin, just say he hasn't had an audition since? Disney are really becoming the mean girls, aren't they?
What MenaMassoud to busy on Hulu 😂😂😂
theDMatthews
Aladdin spin-off hell no nobody Give a crap about that damn movie
theDMatthews
Disney sees a story, some director must have requested it. It's not race, there's potential here. Idiots. Mena is a bad actor.
disney really forgot achmed huh
They should’ve done a spin off about Jafar. That’s the only spin off I’d be interested in.
This is some straight up bullshit right here. Wow.
Probably should progress that as predictable behaviour had by all. Fhht bored. Could be another plane wreck..
Racist
Just do king of thieves so we can get a hot live action version of aladdin's dad 🤷♀️😂
Give Hamish Ascot his own spinoff instead, you cowards.
So they ADDED a Nordic character to the new Aladdin and then he’s the character that gets a spinoff? So many missed opportunities here mixed with notes of w-supremacy. There are plenty Aladdin stories to be told & many that would expand multi-cultural Disney+ viewership abroad.
BRING ANNE HOME
So random!
This will be my reason for getting Disney+
I would rather watch a spin off of the adventures of genie and dalia
The caucasity of it all.
GIVE US A PART 2 INSTEAD
I accept this because he was funny and the only part of the movie I somewhat liked, but also dont accept this following Mena saying he couldn't get any auditions after Aladdin
Don't tell me there wasn't a single person at Disney who said that this might not be a good idea.
His character wasn’t even memorable enough to be hollering about a damn spinoff
They definitely ran out of ideas for sure lol🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean, you all wanted more minority rep...
judd_blakeley
I’d like to see this, but I would also like to see the prequel to Aladdin where Princess Jasmine and the Sultan meet and tragedy strikes leaving the Sultan to raise his daughter alone.
The Sultan had more contribution to the movie than this cracker
Hey disneyplus - NOT A SOUL wants this.
Nobody wants to watch damn Arabs anyways, Hollywood knows white-led movies always outsell non-white movies. Entire markets like China only care to watch white peoples in movies, it makes a lot of sense for Disney to do this actually.
I always swat people when they say “ Do we really need this.” But WE don’t want or need this at all!!
Everyone here saying nobody wanted this, but is Disney taking surveys for what everyone wants to see? They dish out new movies/ideas all the time and when it ends up being good, all of sudden its cool. Bandwagon hate coming from a bunch of grown adults.
TeamStarKid is this not Twisted but just centered around Achmed because we all remember Achmed lucyxmorrisx
The spin-off you didn’t know you didn’t want.
He was funny but he doesn't really need a show. Although maybe a sitcom could work. lol
I'm curious which nation he came from and if he'll ever find true love. Okay, Disney, make it happen, I'll pay for it.
GraceRandolph thoughts? Looking forward to this video
he was good for the small part he had to play...but I don't need a spin-off with his character. I would be interested in an Aladdin live-action SHOW (to go with the movies) with the main cast (like how we had the animated show)...but I'm okay without more of Prince Anders.
Ew
Okaaaaay, they could have instead easily made a spin-off showing what the, Genie has been up to since he was (spoiler alert) 'set free'..
Why are people complaining about this? It is as stupid a complaint as complaining about the new Ariel character.
No we want Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar
Such a dumb idea.🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hell yeh
Why?
What about a backstory of jafar like u guys did with malifecent Or Aladdin and jasmine's after story... smh but this yea ok canceled
Legit no one wanted or asked for this
theDMatthews .
I'd rather watch a spin off of Abu's origin.
I’d rather see an entire Netflix season about the bloody flying carpet.
So...is paying entitled, rich, white guys cheaper than paying the non white stars of the first movie?
HardDriveMag
Just because a character entertained us for under 30 seconds doesn't mean we want a spin-off of them Give me a spin off on the genie and is family living at sea C'MON
Thought the character was a joke?
Didn’t the actor who played actual Aladdin say he hasn’t had 1 audition since the hit film ? Slap in the face much & I noticed that disappeared before I could even click on it, wouldn’t put it past producers & investors to say that’s your fault not ours don’t ruin our new white f
theDMatthews Pretty sure you asked for this 😂
Rather see the genies life afterwards and some turmoil they need to address than this. Didn't raj maim or kill him?
'ew' indeed...
This guy was in the movie for, what, 5 mins and he's getting a series? DUDE, A GENIE SERIES WRITES ITSELF
The story of Aladdin itself is a sub plot of The One Thousand and One Nights
We need less white people movies not more.
💯 probably won’t watch.
Who?
Didn't like the 'remake' so....
I thought it was a prince andrew spoof.
Idaf about live action Aladdin but I agree. This is stupid. Cancel this and get Mena back for an Aladdin series. If the animated version did it then why not a live action one? Hell go even further and create an ongoing original story too. Or a sequel remake of King Of Thieves
Disney do a spinoff of Genie's life before Aladdin....how did he get buried out there in the desert
Why are they making a spinoff about a character that nobody cares about?
why? 🤣 dude just do a sequel to aladdin or a story about the genie...
NO 👏🏻 BODY 👏🏻 WANTS 👏🏻 THIS
Wtf. One of the worst scenes in the movie. Dudes accent was comically bad. Was bad even if it was meant to be fiunny
Of ALL the characters...
Why’s everyone getting ? Aladdin had a full movie, stop hating.
It’s called relevance people, if they ain’t in movies it’s cause they ain’t that relevant
Hein ? Alladin n'est pas noir ?
So glad I cancelled my 1 week subscription. Disney still catering to the white man. Literally since the beginning of the franchise, rooted in racism. I will never support them again. Disney disneyplus
Dumbest idea ever
why?
Liberal Diverse Hollywood
I guess no one reads the actual article anymore...just rush to post uninformed, hollow “outrage”. They are making the spin off because the actor took the initiative to pitch it to the studio and they liked the pitch. Respect the hustle!
I would rather see a Jasmine’s Mom prequel or Genie prequel
If a sequel does not get greenlit, I wouldn’t mind if MenaMassoud and NaomiScott returned for a disneyplus show inspired by the animated series with added cinematic scope to their adventures. But this news just doesn’t feel right.
Like, seriously ! Aladdin live action was a major disappointment and that scene with the guy gave me cringes
Problems: 1. A spin-off of a demake 2. A poorly-written and boring character 3. Makes me ask why Disney is even around
this speaks volumes
No thanks.
No thanks
Why
Spin-offs and remakes!?!? Is that ALL these Hollywood people can come up with anymore. That's why the world is going to 💩. Less imagination and creativity!
no one asked for this.
If the producers who read and greenlit the script thought his story was necessary then count me curious
Me: Oh hey look their doing a spin off show on this guy. That’s cool he was pretty funny Rest of Twitter: fUcKiN wHiTe pRiVilLaGe
Ok but why
where is Mena and Naomi
They need to have cultural appropriation, now they made a convenient excuse 🙄
Can we just get the animated series please? We have literally every other Disney Channel series that was inspired by a Disney movie EXCEPT Aladdin! I need more Mozenrath in my life!
But you can't give Aladdin a fucking job, Disney. The titular character?
Literally no one asked for this
Who is this even for? Who even asked for this?
can't wait till someone makes this about race - oop too late
Who? And WHY?
Yall acting like yall never seen twisted and this bitch got the greatest song in the musical
I guess my only question is... why?
No thank you disneyplus
Ok, show of hands who thought a series about a character no one cares about would get a series? Cause if this isn’t a rumor then they better can it.
But why
Nope. One about Jafar's rise to power as Grand Vizier? Yes.
We don’t need it. But of course people are also mad that it’s a spin-off about the one white guy in Aladdin.
Mena is not exactly a good actor imo, but to give a show to the only white character in an arabian movie setting is a bad idea.
This is disappointing. What about our boy MenaMassoud ?!!! He is too worthy!
Great to see he is white fed up with these mental groups using race cards alway 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bad idea
hqadri94
No thank you
Who wants this?
He had an idea, took it to some people who ran with it who then took it to some more who liked it and everyone’s pissed. Dumb
The only think STUPIDER than this would be if racist england fell for the same damn thing we did from Comey stupidbrittricks
When the news about Mena not getting an audition since Aladdin came out this week, I thought that he had a bad agent and a bad publicist. But seeing how that story came out the same week as this one I realized he actually has a really good publicist. Coincidence? Nope.
Anti white racism in this tweet replies is so sad and disgusting.
I haven't watched this live action hack job. I REFUSE to watch this live action hack job. Disney's lost the plot. Badly.
Why not give a spinoff to any of the actual colored actors who Disney worked oh so hard to cast? Are we really gonna go ahead and have the one white guy in the movie get a spinoff show?
Why wouldn't anyone want this ? This guy is hilarious
I like this actor, but what is the point?
Oh for god sake stop making everything about race this is pathetic now
Disney I do not remember this character in the film
Why?
why
Nobody cares about this character not a single dammn soul. But you telling me that cutie MenaMassoud is struggling to find a role? Nah!
You sure this isn't a WGTC post?
No thank
Everyone complain because he's white time 🙄
So the forgetable white dude gets a spin off, but the non white star is struggling to find jobs I saw the movie and i cant remember seeing this guy.
Haven’t watched the film yet, do we even know anything about this guy? Is there some interesting political shit going on in his country oorrr...?
The Aladdin remake was awful leave the classics where they belong.... in the past
Why?
new ideas are required
his character was hilarious but you cannot have an Aladdin spin off without ... this might be hard to process... but ... ALADDIN! (And jasmine)
Why
Umm, even as someone who enjoyed the live action Aladdin...why would anyone want to see this? 😂
Grand opening grand closing. Disney has no soul. I'd rather see the monkey get a show
Who?
Nobody asked for this
Why ?
This describes Jim Carrey’s career after In Living Color.
Seriously!! Disney+ is clueless!!! Delete this idea...now!!!
This has the same energy as Sony making a spin-off about aunt May. But more racist.
Nothing against Billy Magnussen but why?
C’mon Disney... what were you thinking?
Hollywood really twists itself into a pretzel to center white people
I thought his chather was funny how nobody took him serious but I don't see why he needs his own spin off I'd rather see a Jarfar spin off if anything
I don’t care on the skin colour, I just don’t think a spin off is needed. He’s hilarious in that part in the film and is great at it but a whole spin off 🤔🤔 not needed imo
Who's this guy?
Really? Why?
If this character doesn’t turn out to be gay or have a love interest that isn’t white, imma have to rethink this Disneyplus shenanigans
Wtf. No one wants this.
Bad move - race aside, he was a terrible character. I won't be watching this.
Keep it
who
I literally don’t remember this person
How about no spin-off and can we have a sequel to the movie? MenaMassoud deserves every audition out there I mean look at him he gorge AF!! Aladdin
So the guy that played the title character got no work after the movie released but THIS GUY is getting a spin-off series? One that no one even asked for?! This is some BS if I’ve ever seen one, and I haven’t even seen the movie myself yet!🤦🏾♂️
Anything to fill up sluts at Disney + roster I guess.🤷🏾♂️
YAY! PRINCE ANDERS IS FUNNY!
I mean they couldve like you know mad a part 2, like how are jazmine, Aladdin and genie living in their new found marriage etc etc but okay
Here are some ideas 1:A show about Jasmine being sultana 2:A show about Genie and his previous lamp owners 3:A show about Jafar Literally,anything but this.
Wait...they are kidding right?
bluwweasel mdrr
LETS MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THE CHARACTER WE FORGOT WAS IN THE MOVIE - someone at Disney+
Why not use the real “ prince” Andy. It will give him something to do.
Why would anybody be interested in that?
Rajah really should have devoured him. How do they give the most irrelevant character a spin-off?
What a waste of time load of garbage. The film was average at best anyway. Why is a completely forgotten character getting a spin off no one gives two shits about? 🤯 here’s an idea disneyplus Disney Why don’t you use that money to make something new, original & interesting? 😲
But not the Genie? Not how Jafar became Jafar?
Is this even necessary
Did that just whitppened?!
Soooo because he was a popular scene stealing character in a billion dollar movie, people are upset he's getting his own movie? Oh its because he happens to be white. Anyone not seeing an anti-caucasian trend must be blind as a bat.
Just no! Really no just no!
To the people saying 'well billy is a good actor that's why', they couldn't give that man a role in a different project? Instead they gave a throw away character a spin off instead of a 'well' established one?
Anything is better than another CharliesAngels ElizabethBanks you can make ten spinoffs and it still won’t be as much of an analogy for trash as Charlie’s angels.
hollywood
So don't get me wrong: I indiscriminatly hate this film and everything about it (I'm happy to share my 48-slide PowerPoint presentation on why), but this clown was even more paper-thin than the other characters and deserves nothing. Waste of time and money (sorry Billy)
theDMatthews
I’ve seen Aladdin within the last three months and I can’t remember a single scene with him in. Maybe it’s my age but surely make it about a character people cared about.
Sounds about white.
Why no direct aladdin sequel? Who is this character anyway? Can't quite remember him
This is a bad, racist joke right?
I barely remember this dude Whomstve Hijinks shall ensue
so they just picked the only white character in the Aladdin live action movie to get a spin off?
Did no one READ the article!? This is happening because.. “And it was all Magnussen’s idea — he approached producers with an idea for the spin-off and was involved in meeting with writers.“. If Mena wants a spin off he could do the same thing but I bet one is already in the works
Sad
Sounds very cute
The worst character in a bad film.
Oh dear God, no.
...Well this is what I call a big oof and really bad timing.
Literally why
And he is
I would rather see a jaafar spinoff. Hes one of the most intresting Disney villains but surprisingly doesn't have much backstory besides the basic badguy stuff
So pointless
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
This is the dumbest investment ever....plenty of more viable spinoffs. Nice that Disney can piss money away
They just Had to didn't they... 🙄
Disney really needs they ass whooped for this😂😂 👇🏿
His character wasn’t even memorable wtf
theDMatthews
Damn they really did forget achmed..... no one remembers achmed
I would’ve preferred a Jafar prequel showing how he went from.... wherever he came from to his long pursuit of the lamp. Like what drove him to want or need that kind of power.
The funniest part is it's whites shitting on their own race more than anyone else. Lmao
I like that actor, he should have gotten a spin-off from his character in ingridgoeswest. But I’m guessing no one would be as upset about that.
An Aladdin spin-off and the lead is white lmao!
Nooooo, how about a film about Jasmine?!
White people mad cause another white person got a break. No one needs your garbage hot takes
JustinTrudeau your time to shine
im going to systematically destroy disney
No
First the peloton lady now this. This world is so soft. If Disney wants to spend the money to make something g let em. You don’t have to watch it.
An Aladdin spin-off with Prince Andrew seems kind of inappropriate right now.
Can we just have a Return of Jafar movie instead like
Ew why
Huh
For why?
This shit is insane
Reading this article somehow made me whiter
A spin-off about Oaken from Frozen makes more sense than this.
Nobody wants this.
Disney / DisneyStudios / disneyplus RobertIger “We need a show for our goy base audience” • Studio Executive: “How bout that Viking looking guy from the Aladdin remake?” • Studio Executive 2: “Billy Magnussen?” • (everyone in conference): 🤑”YES🤮he’s perfect!” 👎
Who
N o
I dont get this. Yeah let's make a spin off on a character that wasnt crucial to the movie plot. Yeah a movie on a prince that Jasmine didn't want to marry sounds great. Because he's funny right he should get a spin off. So when is Dalia getting her spin off since she was funny.
I am annoyed and it not about disney but all these people complaining. I'm not even white and it seems like anytime something happens that white people get attention over another race it is already being considered racism. Like honestly American society is so toxic.
White characters can have shows, too. However, not having seen the live action Aladdin (I will) I don't know anything about this character to say whether this particular one deserves a show.
if they dont make a sequel to the actual movie and they say its because nobody watched this, then I will lead the riots.
Lol at all the racist triggered because he's white
Why not a Jafar spin-off? You know pre Aladdin and everything
Eww why? He sucked.
The star of the movie can’t get another job, but the actor featured for 2 seconds gets a spin off? There can’t be anyone on this earth who thinks this is right ... *smh*
And when we say white privilege, they act like wha...!
What the fuck is this
Why? Why?
Finally,a Disney role for a white person!
Does not make any sense knowing that MenaMassoud just shared he has not had auditions. Sorry disneyplus , will not watch this. Do a show with MenaMassoud RobertIger AladdinSeries
I'd rather see them make the Aladdin 3 animated movie into live action. We need more MenaMassoud disneyplus
Meanwhile, the lead from Aladdin hasn't had an audition since. Smh
I seriously thought this was a joke.
Hard pass
The live action Aladdin remake was unnecessary enough, let alone this.
Imagine the hardest pass. But harder than that.
White people really have a mental disorder.
Not sure I would watch. But he’s fine as hell lol so maybe.. 🤔
Here for the crying POC
This dude was shit in the movie... I’ll pass ✌🏼
WHY
Trash
if he's not gay i don't care
I’d rather have
people complaining that it's unnecessary because he's white as opposed to being unnecessary because it's a spinoff of a trash movie you sheep
As long as they don’t bring back Will Smith to sing again. Man he can’t sing for shit.
.........No.
Right on the worst part of Aladdin
Hard pass.
Naw bruh
Yikes who thought this was a good idea
Chad of Agraba
Mena wasn’t good in the film. That is why
No one wants this. No one wants him.
Literally who? Why not follow Genie or even Jafar?
What is wrong with Hollywood? Who thought this was a good idea?
prince anders could be from Russia Aladdin
Awesome!
I didn’t want High School the Musical the Musical the Series... but turns out it’s a hilarious show. We all don’t want a lot until we see it. Then we want more of it... give it time.
So a whimsical character with no bearing what so ever gets a spin-off? Wow. You guys are Disney really took this one to the ass.
Omg hes white lets get angry
I’m confused.
Cool! Hey Disney can we also get a BlackPanther spin off about the Everett K Ross character starring Martin Freeman for DisneyPlus?!
Its as weird as casting Ariel as black. Disney is sure strange these days.
No. I would like to see more Aladdin & Jasmine.
As long as it's not another remake and has some originality bring it on. I'm sick and tired of remakes please make new stuff.
disneyplus Y’all serious?
No
Literally, no one gave a shit about this man
Mickey,
Oh....idk how to feel about this...
I’ve seen the movie 3 times and I don’t remember this guy..
Wth is this now
He wasn’t even suppose to be in the movie...
Can’t wait for this 🧞♂️
We don’t need this....next disneyplus
this would be funny i liked alladin and i found this guy super funny so whys it a problem? 👀👀
But Mena gets f*ck all.. Aladdin
I forgot he was even in the movie... I had to think back hard to remember his scene 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Lmao lookmat all the little sjw cryingbover this. It is hilarious.
I would be mad if he wasn’t so cute in the movie.
i’d honestly rather have a spin off with the Genie and his family
theDMatthews
Everyone when Arial is black: race doesn’t matter, get over it. 🙄🙄 This 👆🏼: white privilage! Racism! 😭😭
I wonder why thedailybeast kpfallon took down my comment saying that Mena Massed probably couldn't find work because Disney had planned on doing a franchise based on Aladdin... and everyone but them knew about it... but now you all know.
Don't nobody give a f**k!
Dumbest idea I ever heard Gimmie Aladdin 3 prince of thieves
Hell no we want more Mena as Aladdin he deserves a sequel...prequel...or series not this dude
Nobody asked for this
I don’t even remember that character
But why?
Walt Disney is confused in his grave
“YAY!! This is what we’ve been waiting for!”
delaneyjonas SagarPattar but why
Totally forgot he was even in Aladdin
Disney disneyplus
Eww 😷
Why not follow Genie getting used to life without his powers? Carpet and Abu getting into trouble throughout the palace or town? What about Jafar as someone's genie some thousand years later and he reluctantly reforms like Loki? Literally... anything would've been better
Wow. Sounds about white.
theDMatthews you've got two wishes left..
this will most likely be a spinoff/sequel with jafar incorporated into the plot at some point
That’s like announcing a Jar Jar Binks movie
I've been boycotting the live action remakes on principle but this really seals that, I almost caved with this one because everyone was raving about it so much. Seriously, the lead actor can't get so much as an audition but a white side character gets his own movie?
I’m okay with it. The rest of the Aladdin cast deserve a theatrical sequel. This goofy king is totally interesting spin off tv series material
This is like having a Harry Potter spin-off about Victor Krum
Who in the blue fuck is this dude?
Who? What? no
theDMatthews
just make a 3 seasons of The Baby Yoda Show where he just drinks tea and shit.. for 15 episodes... fans will eat it up better than This
wslongauthor Can we please stop this from happening?
But why tho. White mediocrity never fails
why is the guy who actually played Aladdin wandering the wastelands looking for employment while y’all are about to set up this random with his own series?
Who the fuck?
why
Why. Why. Why.
Thanks, I hate it
Disney is black magic.
No just no
Magnussen is a very good actor and very funny. I am eager to see this project.
I was already on the fence about canceling my subscription but this definitely solidified it. Y’all some punks disneyplus
I don’t even remember him...
Why the live action sucked 🤦♀️
yeah i’m not gonna watch this
his character was good for one gag and was on the screen for less than five minutes, why bother?
Not my first choice for a sequel but could be funny 😆
I haven't seen Aladdin yet and I can tell you I don't want this 🤣
The spin-off literally nobody wanted
Sure, why not? Couldn't be any worse than the movie.
UHM HELLO HOW ABOUT something that we only had a glimpse of so far in the King of Thieves? Yes I’m talking about Aladdin’s background/childhood. AND/OR his father as well. I would LOVE to see that in live action.
Looking forward to not watching this.
Why?
...Who?
Ummm
Sounds about white
A spin off NO ONE asked for
How stupid. Who the hell is going to watch this?
This pisses me off
white people make me sick thank god asahi isnt
CancelDisney+
He wasn’t even an interesting character...
Cool. I lIke this guy.
Who ever thought this would not be controversial.
No one asked for this 😒🧐
OH REALLY? BUT WHERE IS OUR ALADDIN SEQUEL, DISNEY WHERE? DisneyStudios Disney DisneyChannelPR Aladdin
GraceRandolph interesting choice. Rather have focus put on a sequel 🤔
so many other good characters and Disney had to pick the most annoying character from the movie.
so mena couldn’t find a job after this movie even though he was the lead but this throwaway character got a whole spin off show?
