Gargamel is the main antagonist of The Smurfs live action movie quadrilogy. Like his animated counterpart, he's an evil wizard and the arch-nemesis of the smurfs. His goal is to use the smurf essence to become the most powerful wizard and control the world. He has Azrael as his pet, and Odile Anjelou as his short-lived henchwoman. He's the main antagonist of The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2, a cameo antagonist in The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol and one of the two supporting antagonists (alongside Azrael) of The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow.

He is portrayed by Hank Azaria who also played Kahmunrah.

Biography[]

The Smurfs[]

In this movie, Gargamel plots to use the smurf essence to become the most powerful wizard in the world. When he chases the smurfs away from their village they end up in New York City, while Gargamel pursued them. There, he teams up with his cat Azrael, and his short lived henchwoman Odile Anjelou. When he gets a dragon wand, he captures Papa Smurf and takes him to his castle in Central Park where he uses his essence to power up his dragon wand and use it against his smurf family and their human friends Patrick and Grace. Gargamel was defeated and his powers were gone and was stuck in New York City powerless and while the Smurfs went back to Smurf Village with victory. However, Gargamel remains stuck in the present day and he's unable to come back leaving him and Azrael there for the next four years.

The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol[]

As he's still stuck in the present day, Gargamel is unable to make a physycal appearence in this mocie. However, he does appear in Grumpy's dream in his 2D cartoon form as he and Azrael tries to catch him but they comically fail.

The Smurfs 2[]

Four years later, Gargamel uses the last of his magic to become a famous celebrity magician in Paris and has two new creations called the Naughties to help him capture the smurfs. He captures Smurfette to get the formula that Papa used to turn her into a real smurf so he can turn his naughties into real smurfs and use their essence to become more powerful and rule the world. When Smurfette refuses to tell him the formula, Gargamel and his naughties plot to be nice to her to become one of them to persuade her to tell them the formula. When she does, he puts his naughties and Smurfette in his smurf extracting machine to take their essence and use it to control over the world. When Papa Smurf and the three other smurfs come to rescue Smurfette, Patrick and Victor arrive and destroy Gargamel's machine and unleash all of the smurf magic, which carries everyone out of the castle. Smurfette shoots Gargamel away with Azrael and they fly across Paris, then Gargamel shoots a portal into the water he and Azrael end up back in their castle, but after a painful fall. They get into a fight and he is then attacked by Azrael with his claws.

The Smurfs: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow[]

In this movie, like A Christmas Carol, Gargamel appears in the flashback story 2D animated like his cartoon counterpart and he has a small role becoming a supporting antagonist even though he's still an important character.

Five years after the events of the second film, Gargamel is trying to find a way to find the Smurfs again so he can be able to catch them and apparently he and Azrael never returned to Paris. Azrael interrupts him and tells him that there are three Smurfs close to his castle, much to his excitement.

Gargamel finds Smurfette and tries to get her but he finish in a fight with the other two Smurfs until the Headless Horseman appears and chases all of them forcing Gargamel and Azrael to temporarily team up with the Smurfs to escape. Once they arrive in the bridge, the Horseman cannot step there and gets mocked by the wizard and his cat until he throws a flaming pumpkin in the bridge that causes Gargamel and Azrael to finish in the lake and then in a waterfall but they survive. They most likely came back to hunt the Smurfs after this.
