Disney reportedly had trouble finding the right actors for its upcoming live-action remake of Aladdin, but one look at the man they picked for the role of Jafar proves it was all worth the wait.
Dutch-Tunisian actor Marwan Kenzari is in negotiations to play the evil vizier to the sultan of Agrabah, and the internet quickly went into a meltdown over the news.
