So the dude who plays Aladdin doesn't know if he's getting any follow-up work, but the lone white dude in a one note bit-part is getting a spin-off.
David Anders is funny, but holy shit, what the fuck

Fucking first thing that came to mind when I read the thread title.
I mean it says right in the article that they are also developing Aladdin 2.
I vaguely remember his character from the live-action Aladdin, and I can't for the life of me think of who would actually want this show.
Ha, that just makes me thing of his character from Get Shorty (TV), over eager and willing to do anything....anything.
I liked this character enough in the movie and I've liked the actor in a few other roles, so I'm down for this.
Alladin doesn't deserve a Disney+ show; he deserves a full on sequel with Genie by his side.

Had to YouTube the scene to even remember who he is, it's such a bit part. Yeah... we don't really need a series based on this dude.
Not surprised in the slightest about Massoud not getting work, though. Naomi Scott nearly blew him off the damn magic carpet in A Whole New World. He is not charismatic at all. He's just sort of... there.

Bitch, Hollywood can't sell brown people if they are not named something Hollywood-ish. We need a white man to be PRINCE AL- err PRINCE ANDERS.
Mena Massoud should rename himself to Michael Cage or something.
I don't usually buy into conspiracy theories, but like...the only way this story makes sense to me is if it's a response to the story about Mena Moussoud by some mega racist taht wanted to double down on it. Like they thought "Oh, good, the brown person isn't getting work. Hm, how can I capitalize on that? Oh, I know, why don't we have a story where the only white dude in Aladdin is getting offers for a spin off!"
Why was there a white dude in Aladdin anyway?

Because he is about to get more princesses. Disney needs more princesses!!!
The Sultan was inviting princes from around the world to see who was worthy of marrying Jasmine and taking his position.
I know that, but I mean why was there a white dude in Aladdin.
They could have just as easily had it be other middle eastern suiters. Prince Achmed played a rival suitor in the original Aladdin. And from what I'm seeing, it's not like they had Black or Asian suitors.
I think it's the opposite. Moussoud spoke out cuz he heard this was happening.
Gotta say, when I see 'Disney+ Aladdin show', I don't think the white guy who was barely in the movie as the main character.
That's one hell of a twist.

The actor, if it's too believed that he pitched this to Disney
