Scar's new origin story shouldn't cause an uproar: the villainous lion has had several backstories.
In Disney's original animated version of The Lion King , the treacherous Scar murdered his older brother, King Mufasa , usurped the throne as ruler of the Pride Lands, and blamed the king's death on the exiled prince Simba . A grown Simba eventually returned, overthrew his uncle, and took his rightful place in the great circle of life as the new Lion King.
Taka schemed to have his rival for the throne killed by orchestrating Mufasa's fight with the Cape buffalo Boma, only for the brave Mufasa to save his brother when Boma's herd attacked Taka in a wild stampede."You must rid yourself of the anger that rules you," Ahadi scolded Taka after the attack that left him scarred by buffalo horns. Taka took the name Scar as a reminder, ominously telling his father and brother:"I won't forget what happened today.
Mufasa: The Lion King will serve as both a prequel and sequel to 2019's photorealistic remake of The Lion King, and like most Disney"live-action" re-imaginings, will put a twist on the animated version. New plot details describe Scar/Taka as"heir to a royal bloodline" and"a lion prince with a bright future" who is sympathetic to orphaned cub Mufasa , accepting him into his family as a brother.
While that's a departure from previously-told backstories, Mufasa and Scar weren't supposed to be brothers in early versions of The Lion King. In 2022, producer Don Hahn told Reader's Digest that Scar was originally depicted as a rogue lion before the filmmakers drew inspiration from King Claudius, the murderous brother of King Hamlet, in Shakespeare's Hamlet.
