Saw the movie. Wow...it was realllly good. I was smiling the whole time. I already want to buy the movie! He did a great job. He looked and sounded exactly like Alladin.
I just saw Aladdin. As a live action movie it was entertaining. Especially as an action movie. He was surprisedly effective as Aladdin. The trailers didn’t capture that but he’s funny especially with interaction with the Genie. He has a good voice too.
Ah that's why he looks so weird in the Trailers, he had his hair straightened. He looks so handsome and much more natural with his normal curly hair. I get that they wanted him to look like the cartoon but I would have chosen to keep him natural.
I was so sceptical about Jafar in this version. But when I saw it, couple of weeks ago at a press screening, I was surprised how good it is - the whole thing - and Jafar in particular, is fantastic! One of my favourite parts of the movie. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the original and wasn’t happy about this reboot, BEFORE I saw it. But again, it’s a really good and fun movie. Well done everybody.
@@christophermarabella5683 Well yeah...you know...it's what it is huh, with critics...I'm a movie critic here in germany and I always say: Critics/reviews should only be an "orientation", a suggestion, a point of view - and not be seen or heard as "law". You can always love something that your favorite critic "hates".
@@heyitsnoreen Well you know, I do not want do "diss" my colleagues but, sometimes....sometimes "people" only dislike something cos they think it's cool to dislike something. People jump on bandwagons. Sometimes. Don't listen too much or too closely to film critics, unless it's someone whose opinion you can trust, cos you've been following them for some time and have agreed on things in the past. Critics have "opinions" and "views", THAT'S IT!
Man, this is an awesome interview. Some hosts usually do cringey trivia / games but I'm glad Collider kept it legit with relevant and unique questions and follow ups!
The best part about Collider Live interviews, which is basic social/human-nature, sure, but is sometimes lacking in other interviews elsewhere, is you can really tell when the guest is relaxing and opening up and feeling more comfortable as the interview progresses. That’s the sign of a good interview crew. No wonder word is getting around LA that it’s a fun place to do press media. I mean, if McG can make a “father sodomy” joke, and it kills, you know it’s a comfortable, fun place to BS for awhile while promoting a project 🙂
I think the Nightwing storyline Mena was referring to from the comics is The Dark Knight Strikes Again. In that story, Dick Grayson becomes a new version of The Joker, and I think that idea is what inspired the Tim Drake storyline in the Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker animated movie. But yeah, I think Mena could totally be a great live action Nightwing! He seems like a really cool guy.
I got a chance to see Aladdin at an early screening on Tuesday, but this interview made me like Mena Massoud as an actor so much more than I just did from the movie.
You mean relevant? They book famous B listers or old actors. Notice no Will Smith, or A listers from Avengers Endgame. They can book relevant actors because it's a press tour wherein the actors are required to attend.
Seeing thia is actually making me want to see the movie even more, from the trailers I saw I didnt really like him but seeing him here makes me like him way more, same with will smith, the first Trailer was okay but the other trailer and clips looks much much better
I'm very familiar with Ritchie's movies, but I'd say this was purely a Disney movie and there were almost no hints of the usual Guy Ritchie-isms...and its meant as a compliment in this cause, cause it wouldnt have fit into this type of movie. I think Guy Ritchie did an amazing job and did something different than usual.
Hate to break it to you, but you made yourself look stupid, thinking people's ethnicity determines where they're born. Idris Elba is purely African, but are we gonna assume he was actually born in Africa? I get what you were trying to do, but I think your country's education system failed you.
ScreenJunkies has also managed to keep their main news show afloat meanwhile Collider’s main show (in my opinion) has been suffering for a while since John Campea left, the passing of Schnepp, and now Mark Ellis stepping down as host.
@@A-Dubs398 1st. Mena Massoud is Egyptian 2nd. Would you argue about Sam Jackson not being able to play Nick Fury cause Nick Fury was white in the comics?

@@mmdmmj1 no thats a 3 days week end and its still gonna semi flop. its gonna make 500m$ world wide in the end(2.5x multiplier), not worth a sequel for disney.
Hopefully this guy gets more roles here on out. He seems pretty cool
Agreed. I want to see him in a romantic comedy next
ok Mena is hot af...he seems so down to earth too...wishing him nothing but the best after Aladdin. I hope to see him more! great interview
I know right. Didnt realize he was hot until seeing him here. Looks so much more better than what they have him looking like in the trailers
Omg SO TRUE! He is ADORABLE 😍😍 love him❤️
@@aidamanukyan4433 hands off 😚
Agreed. He is good looking. I want to see him in more films in the future
A lot of girls told me Mena isn't their type. But he is definitely my type.
I can watch him talk all day, cool guy.
Hopefully this guy gets more roles here on out.
Saw the movie. Wow...it was realllly good. I was smiling the whole time. I already want to buy the movie! He did a great job. He looked and sounded exactly like Alladin.

love him, seems really genuine

Mena is a cutie! Perfect for the role ans definitely sounds like Aladdin! 😍

can you imagine the uproar if they had kept his natural hair.
diddo
because he played a character that had strait hair simple as that
Can’t wait for Aladdin and Mena needs to get more movie roles he’s so lighthearted and cool
Dang, if you can get Aladdin get freaking princess Jasmine on! stat!
It's too bad Naomi Scott wasn't on the Power Rangers episode of the Schmoedown. Four of the cast were on there, but not her.
Why?
Shut up Meg
InnerRise probably split up the cast and had her doing the UK market. Also could have been work.
I'm guessing 'cause he lives in LA and she lives in London, he was a much easier get.

Congrats from a fellow Torontonian ! 🇨🇦
Always love u mena massoud.
Seems like a cool dude, hope he goes far in his career. I can see the Little Mermaid, Bambi and maybre Hercules being next.
Little Mermaid has been confirmed for a while
Edit: HE'S KEWWTTT. Looks much better than how they have him looking in the movie
How is the movie
Andre Eli mulan is next
@ nnnnno one wanted mulan
I want Mulan and Pocahontas
Guy seems really cool. Looks like a great Aladdin.
He looks more like Aladdin here than in the movie.
InnerRise yea actually. A lil bit.
Damn. Collider making moves with Disney
They are being known for being Disney marketing department

I saw Aladdin today I thought it was good, people clapped at the end so it was well received with crowd i saw it with.
12:12 his accent is so cute! 😂🥰😝

Yo. They totally lighten this dude up in Aladdin. He's actually brown!
Isn't Aladdin brown though?
nah, he's just clean shaven which makes the face seem more pale
Awesome interview!:) entertaining
This is great. I listen podcast style then I can come back to YT and watch the guest segment clips.
Loved the movie, Mena! Already seen it twice.
I feel like going back and watching it again. It was that good.❤
Me too and I want to watch it a 3rd time because I kept missing a few minutes of the beginning
@@cee5611 I want to buy the movie already lol
@@bori80 me too😂

I remember not long ago Kristen shat all over this movie now he is excited lol how people quickly change their mind shows anything can happen 😃
He has to do his job in this instance, awkward as that is like you suggest.
This guy seems really down to Earth. Great interview.
How does Collider keep booking famous people?
IngramSnake Collider is pretty big in entertainment journalism & the Live clips has got millions of views on UA-cam
You mean relevant? They book famous B listers or old actors. Notice no Will Smith, or A listers from Avengers Endgame. They can book relevant actors because it's a press tour wherein the actors are required to attend.
He’s not famous lol. He’s up and coming
JD it’s still a step up, for a while they couldn’t get any actors on much.
I like this guy, I'll be watching his evolution
Seeing thia is actually making me want to see the movie even more, from the trailers I saw I didnt really like him but seeing him here makes me like him way more, same with will smith, the first Trailer was okay but the other trailer and clips looks much much better
Mena is adorable & has an adorable personality. I love his curly hair, smile & dimples.
on which websites do actors find auditions for these big auditions?
This guy went to the high school I went to! Shoutout Markham Ontario
@Alyssa Truscott He was a few years ahead of me, so I didn't know him or interact with him at all unfortunately.
Great way to get the film promoted, by getting the actual actor to shut up the doubters.
That imitation of his parents 😂😂😂
He Always does that 😂😂😍😍

Wow you guys had Mena Masound on the show cool.
Kristian: “I know you’re Egyptian. Where were you born?” Mena: “I was born in Egypt.” 🤣😂 the US education system fails us again.
He could be born in Canada though and still be Egyptian..
He said cairo though 😂😂
You don’t have to be born in a specific place to be from that place....
mohamed asaad Cairo is the capital of Egypt tho 🤣

The jeremy Piven series was that crowd sourcing police show?
More roles as comminggg
I think he revealed too much about his Hulu show😂😂😂 hope he doesn’t get in trouble for it
What a get for the show. Nice Flex 💪
Did HISHE just strike your Live show!?! 😂
Meanwhile screenjunkies can’t get anyone as close to this relevant
I always thought they were bigger. I think collider is managed better.
He's not that relevant though. This is his first big movie.
Who is screenjunkies?
ScreenJunkies has also managed to keep their main news show afloat meanwhile Collider’s main show (in my opinion) has been suffering for a while since John Campea left, the passing of Schnepp, and now Mark Ellis stepping down as host.
They don't need to. SJU regularly beats Collider Live and Movie Talk in daily views.
How is the movie
great
It is surprisingly good actually
GREAT!! I HAVE WATCHED IT TWICE... MY MENA IS GREAT AND HOTTIE CUTIE...
The movie is AWESOME!!! I wanna go see it again!!😊
So good I saw it twice, wasn't expecting that.
Why is Roxy here
This actor looks mad Domincan/latino. I was suprised he was actually Egyptian.
maybe Dominicans look mad Egyptian🤷🏿♂️lol Egyptians been around way longer
Surprised? How? Lol. A ton of Arabs could pass for Latino, & vice versa.
Dominicans are Latinos and anyone could look Latino.
I would like to see that Nightwing trilogy. Sounds fresh and interesting.
This guy should be Blue Beetle
I can see that
Blue Beetle is Mexican, not Arab. Mexican and Arabs aren't the same. Just cuz they are both Brown doesn't make them the same.
@@A-Dubs398 1st. Mena Massoud is Egyptian
2nd. Would you argue about Sam Jackson not being able to play Nick Fury cause Nick Fury was white in the comics?
@@A-Dubs398 get over it. He makes a good blue beetle and could play it.
Get over your skin
@@VideoPunk_ Nick Fury is black in the Ultimate Comics which is who they based it on the MCU
Ask him about Jack Ryan season 2!!!!!! Haha
"We lived in the same apartment building, visited each other's flats, had lunch and dinner, talked about life"......they were hooking up.
Who? Not watching all this
Can't they just be friends?
God forbid that they were just professionals doing their job...
she's married
which part of the video did he say that?
I love you so much mena marry me 💙✨
😂😂😂
Ezra!
Wow I have 0 interest in Aladdin, but he was actually a great guest . I’m impressed
From hearing what he said, he has no idea about comics😂😂😂
Exactly, what was he talking about with Nightwing turning into the Joker?
Varro literally none of what he said has ever happened
Roxy and Josh are full of it
what the lies is he talking about? not only did the joker appear BEFORE nightwing but they are not even the same age. joker was a grown ass man when grayson was a 12 year old kid being robin............the only "rumor" (which was a fan fantasy) was that leto's joker (from the suicide MOVIE) isnt the "real joker" but is jason todd, robin who became RED HOOD not the robin who became nightwing. stay away from the comic talk, you no nothing. and of course miss "i love dc, i read dc comics" didnt correct him. FAKES EXPOSED
Mena could possibly play Ezra Bridger.
this guy is gonna buy a one way ticket back to toronto after aladdin flops hard...poor him.
who cares. He is set for life.
The movie was fantastic, so no!
WRONG!! The movie made over $200mil opening weekend. 😄😄😄 😝😝😝
@@mmdmmj1 no thats a 3 days week end and its still gonna semi flop. its gonna make 500m$ world wide in the end(2.5x multiplier), not worth a sequel for disney.
Update: It is already last $700 million
Zayn Malik looks better as Aladdin
He ain't an actor tho
Nah Zayn looks like a dumbass
Ummm no 👎 Zayn is cute, but doesn't have Aladdin physical features like Mena 😍
zayn looks like a depressed dude.😂
He'd never work for film. He doesn't like doing much promotion due to his anxiety. This film would've been way too much.
