He is voiced by Jonathan Freeman, who also portrayed the character in the Broadway musical adaptation. Jafar also appears in the 1994 sequel to Aladdin, but he is not in the 1996 third film or the television series, although he does return in the latter's crossover Hercules and the Arabian Night.
In the Underworld, Jafar battled both Aladdin and Hercules, but the heroes defeated him once more, and Jafar met his final demise when Hercules broke his staff, turning him into a spirit once more and sealing him in the River Styx forever.
The King of Thieves disrupts Aladdin and Jasmine's long-anticipated wedding, looking for an oracle that will lead him to an even bigger treasure. His true identity causes trouble for Aladdin... Read all. His true identity causes trouble for Aladdin.
He did not want his voice used for any marketing campaigns. But Disney breached this agreement when it created several commercials and Genie merchandise. This betrayal resulted in a fallout between Williams and Disney, and the actor refused to reprise his voice acting role for Return of Jafar.
When his pet parrot Iago suggests an alternative plan, Jafar decides to use the hypnotic powers of his cobra-headed staff to manipulate the Sultan into mandating a marriage between himself and Jasmine. This plan also instigates Jafar's limerence towards Jasmine and thus he genuinely wants to have her as his bride.
Jafar reads aloud from the ancient scroll he so cleverly doctored, and proclaims that now he must become Jasmine's husband, and – most importantly – the next sultan! Jasmine and the Sultan try to stop Jafar, but to no avail, for Jafar now holds the power of the lamp.
Jafar's next wish - to become a genie - made him arguably one of the most powerful entities in the Disney universe. However, after he was killed and later revived by Hades as a spirit in an episode of the Hercules animated series, Jafar no longer has his genie powers, but remains as a sorcerer.
The Sultan (voiced by Douglas Seale in the first film, Val Bettin in the sequels and the TV series, Jeff Bennett in Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams; portrayed by Navid Negahban in the live-action film) is Princess Jasmine's father and the pompous but kind ruler of Agrabah.
This image is from a scene in the very popular movie Aladdin, where Jasmine is kissing Jafar. Jafar had captured Jasmine and considerably took her as a prisoner and as his servant.
Sadly, the biggest issue with Return of Jafar is how rushed and unfocused it is, as it would rather focus more on Iago trying to make amends with Aladdin and the gang than on Jafar plotting his master plan to rule all of Agrabah.
Aladdin and the King of Thieves (also known as Aladdin 3: The King of Thieves) is a 1996 American direct-to-video animated musical fantasy adventure film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation.
Jafar is the main antagonist of Disney's Aladdin franchise. He is a power-hungry Royal Vizier of Agrabah who was presented as the Sultan's most trusted and loyal advisor, and serves as the archenemy of the titular character, Iago's former boss and owner, and former partner of Gazeem and Abis Mal.
Background. Cassim is the father of Aladdin. Long before the events of the first film, he left his wife and young son in order to find a better life for the poverty-stricken family.
Like some villain characters from other franchises, Jafar is attracted to a beautiful girl or woman that is a protagonist. He was attracted to Princess Jasmine, but primarily for her good looking body, and not for Jasmine herself as a person.
While it isn't explicitly clear how old each of them is, Jasmine appears to still be a teenager while Jafar is an old man. It all leads to Jafar essentially making Jasmine his scantily-clad servent, who then has to seduce and kiss him in the third act.
Later, Jafar asks to marry Jasmine. Not for love of course but for power and control over Agrabah. He threatens that whole Agrabah will suffer if she refuses but she still does and for this.
However, when Jasmine saw that Aladdin returned to save Agrabah, Jasmine pretended to flirt with Jafar as a way to distract him so Aladdin can get the Genie's Lamp.
He also made him human; his snappy impatience at the Sultan's dithering, his hatred of Aladdin because he caught the eye of Jasmine, and his sheer stupidity when he failed to realize that becoming a Genie would also entail living in a lamp. Jafar has no morals at all. He's willing, even eager, to kill Aladdin.
Aladdin 2's future is uncertain as there has been no official confirmation from Disney, and a tweet by Mena Massoud suggests it may have been scrapped. Disney's CEO Bob Iger's statement about scaling back on new franchise content and big budgets raises concerns about the movie's cancellation.
In Disney's Aladdin, Jafar's final wish was to be the most powerful genie. How was it possible for Genie to grant this wish of creating a more powerful being than himself? Jafar just wished to become an all powerful Genie.
