Legion star Navid Negahban, who will play The Sultan in the 2019 movie, has reassured Disney fans by telling Digital Spy that the film will "honour and respect" the culture of Aladdin's setting and characters.

"It was fun," Negahban said of filming. "It was great to work with Guy Ritchie.

"He was trying to stay as truthful as possible to the story, and at the same time, honour and respect the culture and the background of each of the characters. He has his own sense of humour.

"And it will be something that I think everyone would identify themselves with one of the characters in the movie. It's more real. You can feel it, you can touch it.

"And I hope you guys enjoy it! I had a great time on the set in London. It was fun."

Speaking to Metro.co.uk about working with Ritchie, Negahban stated the film will have the director’s style while respecting the original story. "Guy is very sensitive," Negahban says. "He was trying very hard to stay truthful and respectful to the culture and figuring out the best way to present the character or all the monsters. It’s going to be a fun movie. I think it stays truthful to the storyline, but at the same time, you will see nuances of the characters that wasn’t captured in the animation film. You will see depth in the characters instead of just being entertained by the story." Asked if it’ll feel like a Guy Ritchie film, Negahban added: "You will feel his signature. You will see his signature on the film. It will be a different shade of him."

Alan Menken wrote:What’s interesting is these live-action films do kind of leapfrog over the Broadway shows. With Aladdin, I’m so happy we did the Broadway show. It’s such a completely unique experience, though, that it’d be difficult to translate to film as it is. That’s why I hope people see the musical stage version of Aladdin – the film is not going to be a film version of it. You have to try to find something new, and [director] Guy Ritchie has his own vision, one that makes it worthwhile and worth the effort.

It's fan-made.

They even got to write a new verse for the original film’s “Arabian Nights.”
