Summary. Aladdin 2 was confirmed by Disney in 2020, but updates on the live-action sequel have been quiet, leading to doubts about its release. Mena Massoud, the star of the 2019 Aladdin movie, expressed his uncertainty about Aladdin 2, stating it's "very unlikely at this point."
Unfortunately, audiences might never get to see if Aladdin 2 is able to live up to the original movie's success, as it seems the project has been canceled indefinitely.
After leading "Aladdin" to the highly coveted $1 Billion Dollar mark at the box office, Massoud went on to star in Netflix's "The Royal Treatment" which became its #1 film worldwide for several weeks in a row in 2022. Outside of acting, he's passionate about staying active and healthy.
The third Aladdin film is not as good as the first film, but better than the second. Animation is vastly improved over the last one, but still can't compare to the first.
It is the first sequel to Disney's 1992 animated feature film, Aladdin, and serves as the pilot to the Aladdin animated television series (being an origin story of how the series began, as it took place before this film).
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.
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 ended its box office run as the eighth highest-grossing film of 2019 in the U.S. and Canada. Worldwide, the film was expected to open to an additional $100–120 million, including $10–20 million in China.
He has written about entertainment and breaking news for over five years. Mena Massoud deleted his Twitter profile after facing backlash over his comments comparing his 2019 live-action Disney movie Aladdin to the new Little Mermaid film.
It beat the $91.5 million that Disney's Aladdin remake opened with in 2019 but, according to The Hollywood Reporter, The Little Mermaid's opening was still far adrift of its $115 million to $120 million forecasts.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — To play Aladdin, a character he grew up watching, Mena Massoud had to do more than just be charming. He had to act, sing, dance, do stunt work, and even juggle.
Aladdin 2 is currently not moving forward due to the recent strikes. Mena Massoud is ready to move on from the role and doesn't dwell on the lack of progress. A potential sequel could explore new storylines and focus on Jasmine's role as the Sultana.
At only 15 years of age, Jasmine is already more resourceful than her two immediate predecessors, while sharing their same preference for assertiveness and empowerment over passiveness, traits echoed by several other Disney Princesses introduced throughout the decade.
She asks her father again for his consent, and he grants it! Aladdin and Jasmine can now be married, and live happily ever after ("A Whole New World – Reprise"). There is much rejoicing in Agrabah as the curtain falls ("Friend Like Me – Reprise").
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.
The results of this research show that both Jafar character in Aladdin movie and Cinderella's Step Mother in Cinderella movie suffer Narcissistic Personality Disorder, specifically with the type of Malignant Narcissismbased on the symptoms that identified in both characters.
Iago tries to warn Jafar, but Abu intervenes. As the parrot and monkey scuffle, Jafar's attention is nearly caught, but Jasmine hastily pulls him in for a kiss to buy Aladdin more time. However, Jafar sees Aladdin's reflection in Jasmine's tiara and instantly attacks.
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.
Although Jafar planned to get the lamp and then get rid of Aladdin, the boy finally ended up locked in the vat with the lamp. Advised by his parrot assistant Iago, Jafar changed his plan to try to marry Princess Jasmine and thus become the future Sultan.
Finally, as it been revealed that Aladdin is not a prince, he can't marry Jasmine because of the law. He could use the last wish, but he already promised to use the third to release the genie free.
