While there were rumors that Disney was having a helluva time casting its new live-action version of Aladdin, it looks like everything has changed...


...because it was announced at D23 in Anaheim on Saturday that Mena Massoud has officially been cast as Aladdin.


And if that name doesn't sound familiar that's because he's a relative newcomer in the acting world, but just LOOK at that smile!


Show me a whole new world.
