The Lion King makes a regal return to the big screen this December with a seismic new story to tell.
‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ illuminates the story of Mufasa and functions as a prequel to the events that unfolded in the classic 1994 film and the films that followed.
A live-action affair in the vein of the 2019 revival of ‘The Lion King,’ the eagerly awaited film 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 aboard as Simba.
Mark those calendars because ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ roars into theaters globally on December 20.
