Simba and Nala reveal a new son at the end of Mufasa: The Lion King, expanding the franchise with a future protagonist. Picking up after the events of 2019's The Lion King movie, Mufasa sees Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara interacting with Timon, Pumbaa, and Rafiki. The elder mandrill shares the story of Mufasa's youth, depicting how the future king was separated from his parents at a young age and was raised alongside Taka, the lion later known as Scar.
The direct-to-video movies and TV spinoffs will continue to influence future Lion King movies. While Disney's plans going forward aren't known to the public, drawing from Simba's Pride and The Lion Guard could be a fantastic way to tell the stories of these two children. Especially following Kiara's excitement about having a newborn brother, her and Kion sharing a future story could be a way to mirror the Mufasa and Scar dynamic in a more positive and hopeful light.
In an even more direct manner than how Kiara sees Mufasa's face in the clouds at the end of the new film, Kion is able to commune with Mufasa, who becomes a guide for him as he grows to be a hero and king in his own right. Kion is strong-willed and deeply principled, almost to a fault, with his personality stemming from the hope that he won't turn out like Scar.
