Barry Jenkins has directed a prequel to Disney's The Lion King, focusing on the origins of Mufasa. The film will showcase Mufasa's rise to become the king of the Pridelands and explore his complicated relationship with Scar. The first footage was shown at CinemaCon 2024.
In one of the most Madlib film combinations in recent memory, Moonlight director Barry Jenkins has made a prequel to Disney 's"live-action" The Lion King , focusing on the origins of Mufasa . As wild as it sounds, no part of that sentence is made up. Mufasa : The Lion King will hit theaters in December, utilizing the same CG technology as Jon Favreau's 2019 take on The Lion King .
While the footage hasn't been released online just yet, ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis was in attendance for the panel. You can check out a full description of the Mufasa CinemaCon footage below. These classic characters will appear in Mufasa, but it's unclear how their stories will tie into the king's. Rafiki and Zazu make more sense, considering they worked for Mufasa in the original film. Timon and Pumbaa's involvement is a much bigger mystery.
