Disney+ is working on an Aladdin spinoff centered around Prince Anders.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Billy Magnussen, who had a large role in helping the project get greenlit, will reprise his role as Prince Anders in a feature written by Operation Prince of Freedom's Jordan Dunn and Michael Kvamme and produced by Rideback. Magnussen is said to have come to Disney with the initial idea for the project, which isn't a sequel to the film, and helped choose Dunn and Kvamme to write.
Released earlier this year, Aladdin is a live-action adaptation of the 1992 animated film of the same name. The film made over $1 billion at the worldwide box office despite holding a critics score of only 57% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The live-action Aladdin featured several elements not present in the original animated film, including Magnussen's Prince Anders, who was one Jasmine's suitors in the film and from the nation of Skanland.
Although there are few details available at this time, Disney is looking at making a sequel to Aladdin.
Directed by Guy Ritchie, Aladdin stars Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Will Smith as Genie, Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine, Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, Navid Negahban as the Sultan of Agrabah, Billy Magnussen Prince Anders, and Frank Welker and Alan Tudyk as the voices of Abu and Iago, respectively. Aladdin is available now on digital and Blu-ray.
