Tunisian-Dutch actor Marwan Kenzari has folks rooting for the bad guy.


Kenzari is not quite a household name. Yet.

He previously appeared in the Ben-Hur remake, the Tome Cruise film The Mummy and the star-studded Murder on the Orient Express.

In the Disney live-action remake of their classic animated film Aladdin, the company took a different turn in casting the villain Jafar, the Grand Vizier. And people are thrilled.

Put a fork in Twitter, we're done.




Is it getting hot in here?





Are you seeing what we're seeing?



We may need a minute to collect ourselves.




Aladdin who?






Sorry Aladdin, better luck next remake.
