Aladdin Remake Is Nearly Here but People Are Rooting for 'Hot Jafar'
"Aladdin who?" —Jasmine probably.
Entertainment Weekly dropped their latest cover today, featuring the stars of Disney's latest live action remake Aladdin.
While some were upset Aladdin isn't barechested under that vest, and others were pointed out that Genie should be blue (Will Smith said he would be in the movie), no one could have been prepared for the internet's explosion of thirst over "Hot Jafar" (aka actor Marwan Kenzari, who's playing the dastardly villain).
\u201c@calvinstowell But they cast this gorgeous man as Jafar so I\u2019m rooting for evil \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\u201d— Calvin (@Calvin) 1545229057

\u201cIn the cartoon movie, it was believable that Princess Jasmine chose Aladdin, because Jafar was looking like a skeleton with a painted on beard. Now we gonna be like wayment Jasmine you might wanna reconsider cuz Jafar is FOINE!!!\u201d— Eartha Litt (@Eartha Litt) 1545233432
\u201cJafar: \u201cYOU WILL MARRY ME PRINCESS!\u201d \n\nJasmine: \u201cI am...totally okay with that.\u201d\u201d— X (@X) 1545232806
\u201cHot Jafar could show me a quarter of a nipple and I'd kick Aladdin off that magic carpet so hard by the time he hit the ground I'd be in another time zone.\u201d— alexis nedd - DON\u2019T HATE THE PLAYER out now \ud83c\udfae \ud83d\udc99 (@alexis nedd - DON\u2019T HATE THE PLAYER out now \ud83c\udfae \ud83d\udc99) 1545230584

\u201cThe live action Aladdin remake should just be called Hot Jafar and should just be about Hot Jafar.\u201d— Chris Feil (@Chris Feil) 1545229933
\u201cAin't no way Jasmine is in her right mind if she is picking Aladdin over Jafar. AINT. NO. WAY.\u201d— April (@April) 1545257284
\u201cTwitter's reaction to Aladdin is a fierce battle between upset and horny.\u201d— Jesse McLaren (@Jesse McLaren) 1545247270
We would never root for evil, but if we were hypothetically playing a game of "F*ck, Marry, Kill," let's just say we'd marry Aladdin and kill the genie...
