The Most Important Review of Every Single Marwan Kenzari Film
If you’ve seen this one about Luca, you know the drill.
Now, Marwan’s brand is a little less defined than Luca’s but I managed to find similar tropes in a lot of his films. Also, rather than copy myself and give you a redundant Marwanmeter, I decided instead to recommend which Luca character best pairs with each Marwan character for your crossover pleasure. Let’s see if we ship the same things! Some of them are crack. You’re welcome.
(all gifs again by the awesomely amazing @weardes​ who did not ask to be my gif factory but life’s a bitch)
Het zusje van Katia (2008)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? Kinda. They talk about him a lot but his actual screen time is like 43.7 seconds. Also can I just say... he’s supposed to be from Italy?? The boy says literally one (1) Italian word, and you’ll never guess what it is. (Obviously, it’s “bella” like there’s a chance he could’ve said anything else.)
Is he hot? Painfully hot.
Is he naked? There’s this one scene where he’s wearing the sluttiest pair of speedos I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Does his hair look great? Actually, yes. Perfect hair, perfect beard, he looks amazing.
Does he fuck? Yes, a lot - off screen, including an M/M/F threesome he presumably, probably, most definitely initiated.
Best paired with? From what I’ve gathered, this hoe ain’t loyal, so the best course of action is to find him a Luca that would benefit from a one night stand with no strings attached and wouldn’t fall in love with him. The obvious choice here is Valerio from Slam - Tutto per una ragazza. They meet, they fuck, then Giac makes his 4-hour drive back to Pisa, and they don’t see each other again until the next time he’s in Rome. Everybody’s happy, especially the two sluts in question.
De laatste dagen van Emma Blank (2009)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? Yes, absolutely.
Is he hot? Very.
Is he naked? Almost constantly.
Does his hair look great? He’s got those cute short curls, he looks so good.
Does he fuck? That’s literally why he’s there: to fuck and to die.
Best paired with? Man, I wish I had something to work with here. The only thing we know about him besides his sexual prowess is his affinity for white suits and toy helicopters. And as far as I know, those might be the exact things Fabrizio from Nina finds hot in guys. So like, why not?
Loft (2010)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? He’s the fifth most important character.
Is he hot? Yeah, sure.
Is he naked? There’s a scene where he’s wearing underwear and a tank top but it somehow makes him look like a kindergartener.
Does his hair look great? It looks quite nice.
Does he fuck? Yes, though I wish he didn’t.
Best paired with? Tom is a very violent person and a drug addict. He does messed up stuff to his sexual partners I’d rather he didn’t do to any of Luca’s characters. Feel free to use him for your sadistic fantasies or as a villain or whatever.
Rabat (2011)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, he’s one of the three leads.
Is he hot? Oh yes! And cute!
Is he naked? He’s at the beach wearing nothing but boxer shorts.
Does his hair look great? He’s got this extreme undercut thing that would look ridiculous on anyone less pretty, so like no, he doesn’t have great hair, but also like it’s Marwan, you know what I mean?
Does he fuck? Before he embarks on a road trip with his friends, he has an offscreen threesome with two girls he picked up at a wedding. Slut.
Best paired with? Gabriele from Waves. They’re both sweet guys who could meet in some Tunisian port and decide to sail the Mediterranean Sea together.
Black Out (2012)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? Not unless your blinking is very deliberate.
Is he hot? Not really. He’s a dirty cop with a shitty moustache and oral fixation.
Is he naked? No, but I wish he was: his clothes are awful. Marwan is 29 in this movie and he looks 50!
Does his hair look great? Nope. They took Marwan’s usual short hair and made it not work somehow.
Does he fuck? No.
Best paired with? The one thing Luca’s characters all have in common is that none of them come off as bootlickers. All of them are either too soft for such a relationship or wouldn’t waste their spit on a cop.
Wolf (2013)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, he’s the protagonist.
Is he hot? *gestures wildly at the gif*
Is he naked? He’s got quite a few shirtless scenes.
Does his hair look great? It’s nothing special but suits his character well.
Does he fuck? Oh yes.
Best paired with? Hear me out. I know that some people ship him with Fabio, but in my opinion that pair, while hot, doesn’t work. Here’s my pitch: Cesare from Non essere cattivo. The drug connection is still there, but in this case Majid’s problem-solving skills won’t fall on deaf ears. Cesare needs a daddy, ok? Majid can be a daddy when he needs to, especially when he has a soft boyfriend to care for. And Majid needs soft, not psycho.
Hartenstraat (2014)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, he’s the protagonist once again.
Is he hot? Painfully.
Is he naked? There’s that iconic scene where he’s wearing nothing but black boxer briefs and boots while carrying a tray...
Does his hair look great? He’s got Joe-like curls and looks like what every male romantic lead should aspire to look like and then cry because they all fail.
Does he fuck? There’s one very unfortunate sex scene played for laughs. I’m pretty sure he’ll need therapy afterwards. I certainly do.
Best paired with? Paolo from Il padre d’Italia. Paolo deserves the best boyfriend, and who’s better than Daan, an extremely hot man who cooks? They both have daughters, so they can talk about that, I guess, and Paolo can finally have a family. Honestly, this is so wholesome I just made myself cry.
Lucia de B. (2014)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? For sure.
Is he hot? He’s a cop. Again. But he looks good.
Is he naked? Fully dressed, but man are his clothes ugly. Is that a cop thing?
Does his hair look great? He has slightly longer curls, which is fine and the best thing about this character.
Does he fuck? ACAB. (I know this doesn’t answer the question, I just wanted to make it clear.)
Best paired with? See my bootlicker comment from earlier. While Detective *checks notes* Ron Leeflang isn’t explicitly corrupt, he’s obviously a dick, so the best I can do here is recommend any Luca character that has ever been in trouble with the law for any fics about power imbalance you want to write but aren’t comfortable with a nice Marwan playing the villain.
Bloedlink (2014)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? Oh no, he’s there the entire time.
Is he hot? In a weird way, yes.
Is he naked? So, so, so naked. Like, leave nothing to the imagination naked.
Does his hair look great? I’d say that little rat tail is the exact opposite of great.
Does he fuck? Probably more than is good for him. I should also add that he’s canonically queer in this.
Best paired with? Rico is a pathetic loser in need of someone who’s got his life together and has a lot of experience dealing with fuckups. Enter Loris from Il mondo fino in fondo. He has a stable job and a savior complex, and with his little bro gaying it up in Chile and not needing him anymore, all he wants right now is someone to fix. I should be a fucking matchmaker in real life, for real.
Pak van mijn hart (2014)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? Undoubtedly.
Is he hot? No. The whole point of his character is to be the lesser choice compared to a guy who looks like a completely ordinary bland white dude...
Is he naked? ...so of course he isn’t naked! What, are they gonna take this poor woman, show her Marwan Kenzari’s post-Wolf body and expect her to choose her deeply mediocre ex? Please! They’re gonna dress him in the dorkiest clothes possible...
Does his hair look great? ...and make him wear the most awful wig that was clearly run over by a truck.
Does he fuck? No. As you can observe, they tried really hard to make him unfuckable, but honestly, he seems like a perfectly nice guy.
Best paired with? You know what? Mattia from La solitudine dei numeri primi is in desperate need of some sweetness and normalcy. I’m sure Richard will treat him with kindness and respect.
Collide (2016)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? He’s the fifth most important character. Out of five.
Is he hot? Very hot.
Is he naked? Not for a second! What’s up with American movies where people aren’t just casually walking around naked without any plot necessity???
Does his hair look great? His curls are so cute you guys! Look at them!
Does he fuck? Not explicitly.
Best paired with? Fabio from Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot. Again, the drug connection is there, but Matthias is soft enough not to butt heads with Fabio and, by the end of the movie, rich enough to satisfy his cravings for good living and fame. Also look at how good their color coordination is with those dark wine red clothes! Sometimes planets just align, okay?
Ben-Hur (2016)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? Yes, especially if you aren’t watching the background.
Is he hot? Your usual Marwan hot.
Is he naked? No.
Does his hair look great? His typical short curls with a twist. I think the forehead area is supposed to invoke the Caesar cut? I don’t know. It looks fine when not hidden under that dumb helmet.
Does he fuck? No.
Best paired with? A better script and a much better director. (Seriously, what is this blocking?)
The Promise (2016)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? He’s there a decent amount in the first half of the movie and then almost completely disappears in the second half.
Is he hot? Very much, yes.
Is he naked? Unfortunately, no.
Does his hair look great? He’s got short curls again, but this time they’re fashionably styled, it’s magnificent.
Does he fuck? Oh yeah! And there’s no way he isn’t bi or pan in this. No way.
Best paired with? Roberta from L’ultimo terrestre. Listen, Emre Ogan may be a slut but he’s a gentleman, okay? He’d treat Roberta right and he’s got daddy’s cash to spare on hundreds of gorgeous white dresses for her.
The Mummy (2017)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? He’s there, but barely.
Is he hot? Dangerously hot.
Is he naked? Not once! Instead we get a naked Tom Cruise literally no one asked for.
Does his hair look great? It’s your basic professional short hairdo.
Does he fuck? No.
Best paired with? Malik is a member of an organization tracking and destroying various monsters and historical artefacts related to them. Guido from Tutti i santi giorni speaks four languages, including Latin, and is a literature and ancient history nerd which makes him a valuable asset. Malik can fight and protect; Guido is bumbling and in need of saving. Guys, this writes itself.
What Happened to Monday (2017)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, especially not in the third act.
Is he hot? He’s okay.
Is he naked? Very naked.
Does his hair look great? They shouldn’t have greased his curls back. He looks like another victim of Fabio Cannizzaro’s stylist. Also I wish he’d either shaved or finished growing out that beard.
Does he fuck? He fucks and he fucks good. He’ll go down on you, he’ll deflower you slowly and gently, he’ll choke you if you want him to, he’ll spoon you all night, he’ll give you emotional support, he’ll murder people for you - he’s down for whatever.
Best paired with? There’s one Luca character who needs a lot of sex and even more emotional support. Alright, most of them do, but I’m thinking of Ettore from Lasciate andare. He needs it, okay? Good dicking, good spooning, a good ear, a fine piece of ass to cry into - you get the gist. Most importantly: someone who’d love him for who he is and with whom he could relax and be himself. (Also, I see you, people comparing him to Fabio. Shame on you for sleeping on this soft boy and judging him based on his appearance.)
Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? He’s kinda always present, being very French.
Is he hot? Very hot.
Is he naked? No, but I’m willing to forgive that because he looks so good in his conductor uniform.
Does his hair look great? He never takes off his hat.
Does he fuck? No.
Best paired with? Mickey Miranda. They’re both murderers morally dubious characters who would look hot together. What else do you need? (Again, I see you, people who want Pierre for Roberta because he’s a “nice guy”, and I know for a fact you didn’t watch the movie. Spoilers, I guess.)
The Angel (2018)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, he’s the protagonist.
Is he hot? Oh yes.
Is he naked? Not once, but you won’t regret it because he’s wearing excellently stylish 1970s clothes.
Does his hair look great? It looks fantastic. The sideburns (not yet seen here) are a good touch.
Does he fuck? He can definitely get it, but he’s loyal to his wife.
Best paired with? As the most aesthetically coherent and fashionably hot pair in this post, Ashraf and Primo are a no-brainer. Can you imagine Primo calling him “Angel” in different contexts? When he’s being intimidating, not realizing how palpable the sexual tension between them is, and later not even hiding his arousal? Sometimes things just work because they’re hot. That’s all, folks.
Aladdin (2019)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, he’s the main villain.
Is he hot? It’s not like he went viral for being the “hot Jafar” or anything.
Is he naked? No! Fucking thanks a lot, Disney.
Does his hair look great? He has a buzz cut under that turban but he looks good in the turban, so that’s something.
Does he fuck? It’s a Disney movie, so he doesn’t fuck - explicitly or otherwise - but he still comes off as a thirsty bitch.
Best paired with? Jafar ends the movie as a genie who’s obligated to grant his master three wishes but is enough of a petty bitch to exploit the hell out of the “gray area” and screw them over Wishmaster style. My unconventional pair for him is Lui from Ricordi? So many scenarios with distorted memories and magic-induced mindfuck. So many possibilities for awesome and messed up crossover gifsets! Don’t say I never give you guys anything.
Instinct (2019)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, he’s very prominent.
Is he hot? I hate myself for finding him hot but I do.
Is he naked? He’s playing basketball shirtless in one scene, shaking his sweaty boobs everywhere.
Does his hair look great? His weird mohawk-like thing is honestly terrible, but if anything can make it work, it’s Marwan’s bone structure.
Does he fuck? Um, I’m pleading the Fifth on this one for the sake of good taste.
Best paired with? Prison. A very lonely, Luca-less prison.
The Old Guard (2020)
Tumblr media
Will you miss him if you blink? No, unless blinking in your case means sleeping through the gloriousness that is the first ever canonically gay couple in an American action film.
Is he hot? Painfully.
Is he naked? Shirtless in one scene.
Does his hair look great? Soft curls courtesy of Luca Marinelli’s tireless lobbying.
Does he fuck? Not on screen, but you can just tell by the way he looks at his husband and reads impromptu poetry right to his face. And everybody knows nothing kindles the fires of passion quite like murdering homophobes together.
Best paired with? If you have to ask, you’re clearly reading this by mistake. In which case, kudos for finishing such a long and confusing post, now go watch The Old Guard and cry at the beauty that is The Immortal Marriage.

Ultimate Crossover AU
Read explanation about the pairings under the cut.
The Crossover AU  in which each Marwan characters has his own Luca from their movie I’ve watched so far.
1.       Pierre x Roberta [Murder on the orient Express x L'ultimo Terrestre]
The softest pairing because both of them are good people who deserve so much love, bond over their love for their mother, clearly love at first sight, meet on the train. A lot of sweet things, rainbow and sunshine pairing, compliments each other daily, calling each other “love” in each other language and super understanding, got married after six months dating and stay together till old and gray.
2.       Daan x Paolo [Hartenstraat x Il Padre D'Italia]
They fall in love through online dating website.  Paolo just recently adopted a daughter and doesn’t really know what he is doing so he is panicking and want to meet someone online that probably can help him a little bit since he doesn’t really have many friends. Paolo dating profile  “not really trying to find someone in particular because I just recently adopted a daughter,  if anyone wanted to share some tips and willing to be the lending ear of my distress I would be more than happy to have a friend like that” and Daan clicked on the profile because of those sweet smile and beautiful eyes. They bond through Daan amazing skill in taking care of kid because he has his own share raising Saar alone to give some tips. They decided to meet up for real after chatting back and forth and Paolo is a goner because Daan got a killer smile ready with the kind eyes, he knew at how all the single moms on the block gets their ovaries warm and melted when Daan smiled at them. Not to mention he loves his daughter so much and always talk about her so freely, Paolo seeing Daan with his daughter really what made Paolo sure about being with him. Paolo is super shy around Daan, like Daan compliment everything about him but he still find it’s hard to believe in his words even though he literally look like the sweetest thing in the world especially when he wake up in Daan’s arm after gentle slow sex in the morning. Daan would be like “my love haven’t you see yourself in the mirror?”. They are the most wholesome parents after they got married. They are both sappy romantic couple that love their daughters so much.
3.       Majid x Martin [Martin Eden x Wolf]
This pairing is full of angst, misunderstanding and a lot of fighting, Martin clearly use his words to hurt Majid and Majid sometimes can’t help his anger issue so Martin got the slap sometimes in which Majid will keep asking for forgiveness, angst without happy ending it seems with this two. They met at the restaurant near the dock, a few table a part from each other, feel attraction and have one night stand, then they meet again and they were young so they fall hard and they were in love. At first it was easy, just the two of them, they decided to move in together but after a year when money becoming the issue and Majid start getting back to his street way of making money so he could put food on the table and Martin with his own issue, the self doubt , he just want to write but he thinks the world is a sickening place, they start to question about why they still stay together if the conversation always end up in arguments. Always angsty hate fuck with this two when both feeling nauseous afterwards. Majid would hug Martin from behind after they both spent and sweaty from the aftermath and they would murmured while cuddling up in each other arms with words that could cut hearts.
Majid : I can’t quit you but you make me sick, sleeping with you made me sick but I hate you so much because how much I love you.
Martin : You don’t love me for who I am . You want me to change in order for you to give me just some fragments of affection that I barely even get from your rough hands and how you beat up the world and make your own laws.
Majid : You would know better about the state of the world if you didn’t live too long in your idealistic fictional world in your head, step out side and look around you, this world is not getting any better, I work like that so you can live your dreams but you see what I did for you like a disease. 
Martin : Love is not for someone like us, You are too careless about this world and you see me as a joke even from the start, how could you expect me to stand by when you stomped all over my feeling.
Majid would force Martin to look at him while he said those words and Martin would cry and they would kiss again and fuck again and hate each other again, repeat.
4.       Fabio x Jafar [They call me Jeeg x Aladdin]
Fabio who craved for power finally had his wish granted when he found Djin jafar lamp. He rubbed on the magic lamp and had the powerful Djin under his command to do whatever he wants. The unstoppable evil power they would have together. They would rule the world together, a lot of evil laughter, the world will enter dark age, they would be so happy together in their own evil way. Also alot of weird kinky sex. Involved a snake.
5.       Cesare x Rico [Non Essere Cattivo x Bloedlink]
Cesare and Rico a total mess. Cesare trying to find away to sell more drugs and Rico with the idea of kidnapping a girl for some ransom. The quick money they could have and what they should do to get it that’s what they are talking about during breakfast,  dinner time or after sex pillow talk. Briefly meet in prison but wasn’t close but know each other, see each other again at a bar and somehow whey they talk outside they have the same idea and can easily connect so they hit off and start dating. The problem in their so wholesomely in mess relationship is Cesare addiction, like Rico is okay with all the other crimes they committed together but to see Cesare losing himself to drug abuse was hard, they often fight because of the drugs. Probably end up in prison again together (happy ending) or..one of them or both of them get shot during one of their crimes (the sad ending version).
These pairings probably will change if I watched more of their movies and find more suitable characters. I just want each of them to have their own pair. Joe x Nicky infinite alternate universe.
Actually have soft spot for :
1. Majid x Roberta
2. Majid x Fabio
If Roberta wasn’t paired with Pierre I would give her to Majid and if Fabio wasn’t with Jafar I think Majid also really suitable for him. There are Primo, Mickey, Fabrizio, etc to consider but we can talk about them later. I just love Crossover AU so much.

Great Kenzarelli Multiverse Fic Rec List
Tumblr media
For the Luca Marinelli Multiverse Bingo game, prompt: infidelity, I bring to you a lovely list of fics full of unique pairings (a.k.a. not just Joe & Nicky) from the Great Kenzarelli Multiverse. I also tried to steer away from the most common Kenzarelli couples. I hope you enjoy and I hope this encourages you to read more fics from the Great Kenzarelli Multiverse. Luca & Marwan have so many wonderful characters out there!
Daan & Paolo
A Matter of Choice by fadagaski
Rating: T
Okay so Daan & Paolo are a pretty common pairing, but I love this series too much to not include. Paolo is a panicked single parent with no idea what to do with a new baby, he reaches out on the good one internet and finds single parent veteran Daan. Adorableness with a sprinkling of angst ensues.
Majid & Paolo
Pretty Boy You Should Be Smiling, A Boy Like You Should Never Look So Blue by primo_nizzuto
Rating: E
I very much love Paolo & Majid together and this fic kind of sealed that for me. Paolo runs into his ex in a club, thankfully Majid is there to help make his ex very, very jealous. It’s crazy bathroom sex, that seems to be exactly what Paolo needs at the time.
Cesare & Majid
Cesare X Majid series by HoneyYouShouldSeeMeInACrown, primo_nizzuto
Rating: Mostly E
This series is AWESOME. It currently has 6 stories plus one sequel with Cesare & Vittorio. I’m really hoping for more. Majid starts pulling jobs in Italy after escaping from the Netherlands. He meets up with human train wreck Cesare and there are immediate sparks, but will they bring out the worst in each other or the best?
Malik & Ettore
Let Yourself Go by @pigsinablanketfort
Rating: E
Ettore has been hired to work under Malik, but his work ethic leaves a little to be desired… Malik works out his frustration in a supply closet at work. Includes some BDSM elements (my personal headcanon is that Malik is very much into BDSM, so I approve).
Mickey & Pierre
You Are the Moon by HoneyYouShouldSeeMeInACrown
Rating: E
After the terrible events of London, Mickey escapes on the Orient Express. He was only hoping to get away, but instead he crosses paths with Pierre. Pierre is dealing with his own demons, but still has a pure heart. Will his purity soothe Mickey or will Mickey corrupt Pierre?
Guido & Majid
On A Hot Summer Night Would You Offer Your Throat To The Wolf With The Red Roses? by primo_nizzuto
Rating: E
Majid rescues Guido from getting his ass kicked and sweetheart Guido lets Majid sleep on his couch. It doesn’t take long for Majid to start sleeping in the bedroom instead. Also includes BDSM elements because Guido is the subbiest of the Luca characters.
Fabio/Majid/Jafar
Knot Your Baby by @tobebbanburg
Rating: E
Alright, this is a weird A/B/O one but stay with me. So Fabio & Majid are a couple that have been trying to get pregnant for a while. Because of weird sciencey reasons, in order to get pregnant, Fabio needs to be with two alphas at the same time. They decide to recruit Majid’s cousin, Jafar, to help.
Multiple Pairings
Two Suns (https://archiveofourown.org/works/30668651/chapters/75670307) by @shadyhideoutreview
Rating: E
I will never not recommend this fic. It does have Joe & Nicky and some other favorites (Roberta & Pierre, Majid & Fabio), but it also has unique pairings like Adrian & Cesare and Primo & Richard. I have to admit that Primo & Richard are not my cup of tea (it’s a minor pairing and ShadyHideouts somehow makes it work), but Adrian and Cesare are sooooo adorable together. Adrian is such an underappreciated character and he is so dreamy in this. Highly recommend, it’s also an A/B/O fic.

In the live action remake of Aladdin, there is a scene where Jafar explains to Aladdin why he should take the “opportunity” of going into the Cave of Wonders, and his entire argument hinges on Aladdin’s attraction, or love for, Jasmine. Given Marwan Kenzari’s (Jafar’s actor) comments about Jafar’s past and his motivations, the following speech Jafar gives Aladdin comes off as even more “bitter ex seeking revenge” than it does at first hearing it:
“Well, at least she told the truth about one thing…She was toying with you. It amuses her to meet commoners. Did you actually think she liked you?…People like us must be realistic. You see, I was once like you. A common thief…You’re either the most powerful man in the room, or you’re nothing. You have stumbled onto an opportunity. I can make you rich. Rich enough to impress a princess. But nothing comes for free.”
Jafar’s wording here can be construed as actually being about himself and his past with Jasmine, as we know from the following quote from Marwan that Jafar, being of a similar age to Jasmine in this version, was likely raised in the palace alongside her, which has led him to not only call the Sultan “Baba” (“father”) at one point, but to seek his approval just as much as he seeks to steal his power for himself:
“In my imagination, the character Jafar was picked up, as he mentions himself to Aladdin. That he once was a street thief like Aladdin and I think his mentor might have been the Sultan as he was growing up, and I think, for instance, I don’t know if you’ve ever read Othello but the way Iago — an interesting detail that character’s name is Iago — starts poisoning Othello’s ear and that’s because of jealousy and I think jealousy might be a motivation for Jafar as well. I think there’s a fine line between having someone as a mentor and at the right moment taking over the mentor’s place, replacing the alpha wolf, so I think definitely there’s a relationship there between the Sultan and Jafar, it’s just that the blind ambition became too big and that’s why it developed the way that it did.”
Given that Marwan has also described how Jafar has feelings for Jasmine, we can see how his speech to Aladdin is not actually about Aladdin and Jasmine’s relationship at all, but actually about a past relationship between Jafar and Jasmine. At one point in their childhood, Jasmine had an interest in Jafar; whether her interest was romantic or platonic, we don’t know, but through Marwan, we know Jafar, at least, harbored romantic feelings for her. However, it is clear the two had a falling-out as they grew older; whether it was because of Jafar’s “blind ambition” or for another reason, the result was Jafar’s resentment against her. Because of this resentment, he views their past relationship as Jasmine having lied to him, and merely “toying” with someone she thought was below her (“it amuses her to meet commoners”). Given that one of Jafar’s demands later in the film is to marry Jasmine, we can assume that one of his motivations for possessing the lamp is his feelings for Jasmine, believing that she could only ever love him if he was powerful enough, if he was no longer a “common thief” (“you’re either the most powerful man in the world, or you’re nothing”).
I think it would be quite interesting to see a sequel or a novelization dig deeper into Jafar’s character and his past with Jasmine, and as the character is technically still alive in the live cinematic universe, it is quite possible to bring him back. I will leave you with this quote from Marwan:
“I was always interested in Jafar’s feelings for Jasmine, and as I was reading this script, I was wondering how far we could take that…But there’s a specific reason why Jafar says “I want to marry your daughter,” and in my imagination, I would see a sequel to this film where you would see Jafar’s real motivation, that would be the love for Jasmine or something in that direction.”

Veronica Ngo (Ngô Thanh Vân) requested that Quynh be Vietnamese in The Old Guard.
"I read the script and I told Charlize about wanting to really relate to the character by acknowledging me as a Vietnamese actress," Ngo said. "China cinema is so dominant over all the Asian countries. For Western audiences, we all have black hair and brown eyes and we're all Chinese and I don't like that. I'm proud of my country, my nation, my people. We have a long history in cinema so it should be embraced. Every character I play in Hollywood I would love to show that pride of my nation."
Ngo said Theron was taken by that and suggested that the Noriko character be changed to a Vietnamese name. Though Ngo gave a list of names to consider, she said it was Prince-Bythewood who came up with Quynh.

Marwan Kenzari talks about meeting Luca Marinelli.
It’s pretty unprecedented to see such an emotionally deep gay love story in the middle of a comic-book movie. What did it take to get the chemistry right with Luca? We were in London to do a chemistry read together, and the chemistry went from there quite quickly. Luca is a very sensitive, honest, sweet, passionate actor, and I really enjoyed the way he became a friend of mine. It was quite easy to play that connection. As life goes on, we stayed in touch, during good times and harder times. It has been so much fun to work with a group of people that can have good chemistry together, on and off set.
What scene did you do for that chemistry read? We did that bit where we’re attached to two beds [while being held by The Old Guard’s evil CEO], and we share a sort of cryptic memory, and there was another moment we did that I’m not sure made the end cut. But that was a moment where Luca touched me, and because we play this symbiotic couple, it was really important to feel something that had nothing to do with acting but just with the connection of two human beings. I’m not saying it has to be like that all the time, but it does help. In this case, when he touched me, I thought it was natural and it was safe and it was kind of special.

More Than A Spark - The Old Guard
TITLE: More Than A Spark FANDOM: The Old Guard RATING: R CHARACTER(S): Andy | Andromache of Scythia, Booker | Sebastien le Livre, Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani, Nicky | Nicolo di Genova, Nile Freeman, Quynh | Noriko PAIRINGS:  Joe | Yusuf Al-Kaysani/Nicky | Nicolo di Genova WORD COUNT: 1357 SUMMARY: Being new in town, Nicky needs to make some friends and something to do other than work and go home. Andy takes him to her kickboxing gym where he is introduced to one of the trainers, Joe. Is this the start of something new and exciting? A/N: Ever since I started kickboxing a few years ago, I've been wanting to write a kickboxing AU but I never quite got one to work. Then I saw Wolf and a plot bunny was born. And then I saw the Men's Health workout video that Marwan did for that movie and my brain melted a little. So, here's an Old Guard Kickboxing AU that I hope someone else wants? Not sure how long this is going to be yet. A rough estimate would be 4-5 chapters. No smut yet, but that'll be coming. And maybe a little angst. Cos I'm me and that's what I do. Also, no Nile or Quyhn in chapter one, but they will be coming. A/N 2: Thanks to Bri for the beta. :-D 
Nicky was a few paces behind Andy as they walked into the gym. Looking at all the weights and equipment had him feeling a little intimidated. But Andy insisted that everyone was really nice, and the classes were a lot of fun. He had to agree it could be a good way to meet people. He had moved to London three months ago, and the only people he had met were his coworkers at the university. Andy and Nile were the nicest of them all, but expanding his social circle outside people he saw every day at work could only be a good thing, right?
Andy stopped at the desk and exchanged a few words with a tall, blond-haired man behind the desk. Nicky stepped up next to her to see what this place was all about.
“Booker, this is Nicky,” Andy said. “Nicky, Booker.
“Sébastien,” he said, holding his hand out to Nicky. “But everyone calls me Booker because no one can speak proper French around here.”
“Nicolò, but Nicky, for similar reasons.”
Booker laughed loudly at that. “I’m gonna like you, Nicolò. Let me get Joe. He’s better at the rundown than me. Hey, Joe!”

Thankyou very much for recommending this series! Which one of the lucamarwan universe do you think i should watch next?? 😁😁
👏🏾👏🏾 congratulations for finishing the series. Yeah Primo is just that sexy, we know he should be in jail for all the crime he had done but can't help ourselves just to love him, abandoned all moral tbh for him. 🤣
Jafar x Primo is second generation, hopefully they will be with us soon as the first chapter will premiere in 2 days. Wish us luck that nothing bad happen so we can move forward in steady pace and meet all the couples eventually 💪
I don't know what movie you haven't watched from their lists except Murder on the orient Express, Martin Eden and Trust Fx now.
So I will give you Five of other Marwan and Luca Movies list with most recommended to watch and to last so you can prioritize what to watch Next especially for the characters in the beyond time series.
1. Il Padre D'italia 2017 (Paolo) x  Hartenstraat 2014 (Daan)
2. Wolf 2013 (Majid) x They call Me Jeeg 2015 (Fabio)
3. Don't Be bad 2015 (Cesare) x Bloedlink/Reckless 2014 (Rico)
4. Rabat 2011 (Zakaria) x Fabrizio de André: Principe libero 2018 (Fabrizio)
5. The angel 2018 (Ashraf) x Martin Eden 2019 (Martin) [I know you have watched this movie, I just wrote this for the pairing 🤣]
So I will give you another one just to make it even.
6. Il mondo fino in fondo/Up to the world 2013 (Loris) x [he is paired with Malik from The mummy 2017 . You can literally skip the mummy haha I don't think you need to watch this. first, the movie is bad, second, Malik only have 6 minutes screentime (but it's enough for us to know that he is hot af, that's all that matter 🤣)]
That's all for now . From the list, the first I mentioned for each bullet meaning it's my preference than the other. Like some point I mentioned Marwan's movie first and  mentioned Luca's movie first in the other.
Tell me if You managed to watch any movie on the list!
Happy watching!
