Power Rangers Star Naomi Scott Could Be Live-Action Aladdin's Jasmine

While no official castings have been made, it looks like a Power Ranger could take on the iconic Princess Jasmine role in Aladdin.

Guy Ritchie's upcoming live-action remake is still in the early stages, but the casting search has already been expansive, with two names popping up as front-runners (via THR). Power Rangers actress Naomi Scott and actress Tara Sutaria are early locks, but the studio is waiting until it can narrow down an Aladdin before making a final decision.

The search for Jasmine and Aladdin has extended from locales like London and Abu Dhabi to India, and the film does want someone of Middle-Eastern or Indian descent in the role of Aladdin.

Scott's a popular name at the moment, as she also popped up in an early shortlist for the upcoming Batgirl project, but it might be some time before that casting is made.

Scott was most recently featured in Power Rangers, and hopes are high that a sequel will eventually get made. For Scott, the Pink Ranger has been a blast to play, telling W Magazine "I have an opportunity here to maybe delve a little bit deeper. I love her because I think she's real. I think she's really smart. And I think she's got a maturity as well."

As for Aladdin, Director Guy Ritchie has made it clear he will find who is supposed to be in the movie and roll with it above all else.

"Decency is decency. Humanity is humanity. I think the film will dictate exactly what the tone is supposed to be and who's supposed to be in it," Ritchie says. "You just don't want to feel like you're muscled into it, because you're bullied into it. It will be what it will be, because it should be what it should be. It will have its own authentic voice, and you don't want that voice contaminated by a PC army."
