The new prequel explores the complex relationship between Mufasa and Scar, revealing they are not biological brothers but come from different prides. This reinterpretation of their bond adds depth to the Lion King franchise.
Mufasa and Scar 's relationship is a central part of the Lion King franchise, and Mufasa : The Lion King complicates their status as brothers. In the original 1994 animated movie, Mufasa and Scar are pitted against each other due to the balance of power at Pride Rock. Mufasa : The Lion King takes the story back to when they were both just lion cubs, and Scar was only known as Taka.
The movie explores their earlier adventures together before Mufasa becomes the king of the Pride Lands and Scar's jealousy grows as he's next in line to the throne before Simba's birth. Mufasa: The Lion King is a wholly original story created by Jeff Nathanson and Barry Jenkins that is able to add depth to the nature of Mufasa and Scar's relationship. However, this also meant changing what many viewers thought was firmly established in the franchise canon about them. This is because The Lion King suggested that Mufasa and Scar were brothers, and viewers accepted that as fact for decades. Now that the 2024 prequel is out, here's how Mufasa: The Lion King's exploration of Mufasa and Taka's brotherhood fits into the franchise history. Mufasa & Scar Are Not Biological Brothers In Mufasa: The Lion King They Come From Two Different Families. It is blatantly confirmed throughout Mufasa: The Lion King that Mufasa and Scar are not biological brothers. The movie begins with Mufasa as a young lion cub with his parents, Masego and Afia, as part of a prideless group of lions. Mufasa's life changes when a flood occurs and is separated from his birth parents. All alone, Mufasa is discovered by Taka and his mother, Eshe. They are part of a completely different pride led by Taka's father, Obasi. Through this setup, Mufasa: The Lion King makes it clear that Mufasa and Taka are not related by blood. Mufasa and Taka do become like brothers in Mufasa: The Lion King after the future king of the Pride Lands is allowed to be part of Obasi's pride
