The Lion King prequel will star Aaron Pierre (Krypton) as Mufasa.
Walt Disney Studios has released the first official teaser image from Mufasa: The Lion King, the live-action hybrid sequel to the 2019 version of The Lion King, which was directed by Iron Man' Jon Favreau and earned over $1.6 billion at the global box office. In the image, you can see a young Mufasa standing on a cliff. There are no supporting characters in the image, which was shared on social by The Hollywood Handle and released as part of Disney's 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Mufasa: The Lion King will be directed by Moonlight's Barry Jenkins, from a script from Jeff Nathanson. Krypton star Aaron Pierre will voice Mufasa in the new movie, with Kelvin Harrison Jr. voicing Scar, who will presumably be the film's villain once again. Not much is known about the film, other than that it is an origin story for Simba's father. James Earl Jones elected not to return for the film.
"My agents send me a lot of scripts. When this one came, super top secret, I was very skeptical," Jenkins told Chloe Zhao during a filmed interview in 2020."I read the script and about 40 pages in I turned to Lulu and I said, 'Holy s**t, this is good.
In 2022, Disney revealed a teaser that was only shown at the D23 Expo, which showed Mufasa as a cub. The story appeared to be narrated by Timon and Pumbaa.
