Saturday when Disney announced the final cast list.
In
the sultry snap, the Shout Out To My Ex hitmaker posed with a pistol,
with a message attached to it which was emblazoned with the phrase 'over

Meanwhile, Egyption-born, Canada-bred Mena is set to star in the upcoming Jack Ryan television series.
It was reported several days ago that Ritchie was struggling to find a lead actor for the film.
Both Riz Ahmed and Dev Patel are understood to have been considered but Disney was more keen on casting an unknown actor.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, over 2000 actors and actresses read for the roles of Aladdin and Jasmine.
It
seemed finding a male lead who can act and sing, in his 20s, was
difficult especially as the studio needed someone of Middle-Eastern or
Indian descent.
