If you’re an audience member who has grown to love the new slew of live-action Disney remakes of animated classics, then this year is going to be very exciting. Classic Disney films such as Dumbo and The Lion King are getting the live-action treatment this year, as well as the 1992 film Aladdin. Naomi Scott, star of the 2017 Power Ranger film reboot, is set to play Princess Jasmine in the film and now fans can finally get a glimpse of the actor donning Jasmine’s iconic red outfit in an image from the film.
A fan on Instagram compared Naomi Scott’s live-action Princess Jasmine to her animated counterpart, both donning the red outfit, and the results will definitely hype fans for the retelling of the classic tale. Check out the image of Naomi Scott and the original Princess Jasmine in the post below.
Aladdin will release on the heels of a marathon of achievements for Disney in the area of live-action remakes. In 2010, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland became a worldwide hit and inspired a new set of live-action remakes of Disney classics. Since then, remakes such as Cinderella, The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast have taken the worldwide box office by storm and proved that this trend doesn’t seem to be ending any time soon. Even the Angelina Jolie-starring film Maleficent, which is more of a retelling than a remake of Sleeping Beauty, was a huge hit at the box office and spawned a sequel that will hit theaters in the near future.
