A brand new, full-length trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King closed out Disney main entertainment showcase Friday evening at D23.
In it, audiences are given a much clearer picture of the overarching story and the bond-turned-rivalry between Mufasa and Scar.
You can check out the trailer below!
Directed by Barry Jenkins, the project is intended to be the live-action styled photorealistic computer-animated prequel to the similarly created 2019 remake of The Lion King (1994). Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and John Kani reprise their character roles from the remake, and are joined by Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr., who voice their young versions of Mufasa and Scar, respectively.
During an interview with Fandango in April 2023 about his film Chevalier (2022), Harrison Jr. confirmed that the film will explore Scar’s backstory, portraying him in a “hilarious and very, very spicy” way and expressing interest in how the young and sweet Scar’s relationship with his brother Mufasa evolves throughout the film.
Mufasa: The Lion King roars into theaters December 20, 2024.
