Disney is showing no signs of slowing down with its live-action reboots, and now we know who will be playing the core four characters in the upcoming Aladdin reboot.

Keep reading to find out which actors have signed on so far.
Will Smith was one of the first names thrown into the hat to provide the voice of Genie before he was officially confirmed. While fans were a little hesitant about Smith's version of the classic character, his musical spins have won them over!
Egyptian-born Canadian actor Mena Massoud stars as our favorite thief with a heart of gold. His version of the classic character may have undergone a costume change, but it doesn't hide a bit of those dashing good looks that perfectly fit Agrabah's Aladdin.
2017's Power Rangers actress Naomi Scott plays Princess Jasmine alongside Massoud and Smith. And yes, those are really her angelic vocals in the film.
Kenzari, one of the stars of Murder on the Orient Express, plays the big, bad villain of Agrabah.
The SNL alum steals the show as the handmaiden Dalia, the princess's hilarious and loyal confidante. The character is a brand-new addition to the classic tale, and we have a feeling that audiences are going to love her.
The actor, who previously starred as Rapunzel's prince in Into the Woods, plays Prince Anders, a brand new character to the story.
The Turkish-born German actor plays Hakim, the righteous head of the palace guards.
