The Lion King roars back onto the big screen this December with a brand new story to tell.
‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ shines light on the story of Mufasa and serves as a prequel to the events that unfolded in the classic 1994 film and the sequels that followed.
A live-action blockbuster, the Disney-powered production follows the 2019 revival of ‘The Lion King’ and is directed by Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins.
Aaron Pierre leads in the titular role of Mufasa and will star alongside Kelvin Harrison Jr (who features as Taka). Beyonce reprises her role as Nala, while her daughter Blue Ivy Carter will star as Kiara. Donald Glover is also back in the mix as Simba.
‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ hits theaters worldwide on December 20.
