‘Aladdin’ Spinoff Featuring Prince Anders In The Works For Disney+

Disney’s live-action Aladdin remake dominated the box office earlier this year, and with talks of a sequel starting to heat up it seems we may get a spin-off before that.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has hired Jordan Dunn and Michael Kvamme to pen a script for an Aladdin spinoff centered on the goofy character of Prince Anders played by Billy Magnussen.

Magnussen would reprise his role, and the studio is setting the feature up at Disney+ and is in early stages at this point in time.

Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, who produced the billion dollar-grossing Aladdin, are back in the producers seat via their banner, Rideback. Rideback’s Ryan Halprin will executive produce.
