The plot for ‘Mufasa: The Lion King‘ is revealed – young lion Mufasa is saved by another cub named Taka after a flood separates him from his parents. They grow up like brothers.
The prequel unfolds the story of one of the greatest kings in the Pride Lands, going back to the African savanna. Rafiki tells Kiara, Simba, and Nala’s daughter, about her grandfather, with Timon and Pumbaa adding lively commentary.
Directed by Barry Jenkins from a screenplay written by Jeff Nathanson. Mufasa is voiced by Aaron Pierre, Scar by Kelvin Harrison Jr., Pumbaa by Seth Rogen, Timon by Billy Eichner, and Rafiki by John Kani.
Speaking to Variety, Jenkins said “I grew up with these characters, they mean so much to me. I think the work that Jeff Nathanson, the writer, did and going back into really helping children and anyone who ever loved this property understand what it takes. Kings aren’t just born, they aren’t just made. They have to become who they are through a series of events that a lot of people can relate to. So, in that standpoint, it fits very well with everything else I’ve done. So I feel no pressure, I just want to do a good job.”
