Disney Announced Who's Playing Jafar And The Internet Has A Lot Of Feelings

Disney

Jafar is one of the scariest villains to ever exist in a Disney movie. He is crazy powerful, super manipulative and honestly just the creepiest guy around.

You might be thinking "Well he helped him escape!" but he only did that to ensure he could get into the cave

The new Aladdin movie that Disney is making will be live action. They have been releasing their cast list over the last few weeks and while we were all excited about Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie, the new Jafar is giving everyone a lot of conflicting feelings.

When you see what he looks like, it's easy to see why everyone is concerned about the new Jafar

The new announcement from Disney has all their fans reeling. We are supposed to hate Jafar. He is a bad man and we are supposed to find him repulsive. It's a little bit harder to find him repulsive when he looks like this:

The new Jafar in the live-action movie will be played by Marwan Kenzari and he looks absolutely nothing like the cartoon character - in a very good way.

Disney

The Dutch-Tunisian actor is getting a lot of attention now that he has been announced as the Royal Vizier, and honestly it's absolutely hilarious.

What do you think of the new Jafar? Think he will make a good villain? Let us know in the comments!

A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The New Aladdin Is Here And At Least One Of Our Wishes Was Granted

We've been waiting patiently, okay mostly patiently, since Disney announced that Aladdin was being remade. The cartoon remains one of the most iconic movies of all time, and the fact that they were going to try and bring it to life with real humans instead of the animated versions was kind of concerning.
