Kiara, who previously appeared in The Lion King II and The Lion Guard, is coming to live action.
The trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King had a few surprises for Disney fans. Among them was the revelation that, while the story of Mufasa could accurately be described as a prequel, there are sequel elements to the movie as well. Apparently the movie will introduce Blue Ivy as Kiara , the daughter of Simba and Nala. Kiara is not a new character created for this movie, though; she served as the protagonist for 1998's direct-to-video sequel The Lion King II: Simba's Pride.
The character of Kiara was previously voiced by Michelle Horn as a cub with Neve Campbell as a young adult in The Lion King II, and by Eden Riegel in The Lion Guard. The character also appeared in Kingdom Hearts II, where she was voiced by Tara Strong. Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline.
The cast includes Aaron Pierre as Mufasa, Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka , Tiffany Boone as Sarabi, Kagiso Lediga as Young Rafiki, Preston Nyman as Zazu, Mads Mikkelsen as Kiros , Thandiwe Newton as Taka's mother, Eshe, Lennie James as Taka's father, Obasi, Anika Noni Rose as Mufasa's mother, Afia, Keith David as Mufasa's father, Masego, John Kani as Rafiki, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Billy Eichner as Timon, Donald Glover as Simba, and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala.
