We know who the bad guy is in Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of TIme. It’s Ben Kingsley, who was announced as being in the film earlier this week when Alfred Molina was revealed as playing the prince’s mentor character.

According to Variety, Kingsley will play Nizam, the uncle of Jake Gyllenhaal’s Prince Dastan charater. Nizam plots to murder his brother and blame it on the prince, as a way of taking the throne.

Ben Kingsley can certainly pull off a convincing bad guy. Maybe it’ll be just the thing he needs to erase his recent track record of box office and critical failures.
