After the first part of the movie "Aladin" succeeded in collecting more than one billion US dollars in revenues worldwide, Disney Studios announced the start of preparing for the second part, which is starring the Egyptian Canadian actor Mina Masoud in the role of "Aladdin" in addition to Naomi Scott "Princess Jasmine" and American star Will Smith "The Genie".
"Aladdin" will return again with the same cast in the second part, which Disney Studios is trying to confirm especially that Smith is busy filming a new part of the "Bad Boys" series, to join all of these also the director of the first part, "Jay Richie" who confirmed the agreement With him already.
The journey continues
This news comes to reassure the fans and followers of Masoud, who announced at the end of 2019 that he is frustrated by the absence of any new cinematic or television work being shown to him, despite the success of his first movie and achieving revenues exceeding one billion dollars around the world.
Masoud's repeated complaint is seen by some to be that the American cinema community still carries a degree of negative discrimination towards Arabs and Middle Easterners in general, especially since Disney has previously announced the start of filming a series of championships who are naturalized in the role of "Prince Andrea", which is one of the secondary characters In Aladdin’s story, at the same time that the main hero of the story complains about being ignored.
New adventure
The announcement of the second part came to give the kiss of life to Masoud's film career, as he came to announce a completely new adventure in the world of Aladdin, as his events will not be based in any way on what the audience knows in animated films, especially since the first part did not end with the same end of the cartoons Animation, and therefore it will take a new scenario to create a new adventure for these heroes.
This is exactly what Disney Studios did, as two new writers were hired to do the job, John Gaten and Andrea Berloof, and after a six-month work, the authors were able to craft a new story that Disney agreed to actually start working.
And he made a completely new adventure that may have also come to respond to criticism directed at recent Disney films, as a result of repeated again the same animated tales, whether in "Aladdin" or "Lion King" which would be avoided by the makers of the second part of Aladdin, which prepares the audience Either a happy surprise or a loud fall.
