“The earth will shake… destiny awaits you."

Disney has unveiled the teaser trailer for the Mufasa: The Lion King movie, from director Barry Jenkins (of Moonlight & If Beale Street Could Talk) jumping into the world of Disney for his next story.

The prequel about the rise of one of the greatest kings of the Pride Lands, returns to the African savanna where Rafiki tells Kiara about her grandfather. Told with flashbacks, we're introduced to Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost & alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline.

The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny.

With the voices of Aaron Pierre as Mufasa, Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Billy Eichner as Timon, John Kani as Rafiki. Plus a big ensemble cast: Tiffany Boone, Kagiso Lediga, Preston Nyman, Thandiwe Newton, Mads Mikkelsen, Anika Noni Rose, Keith David, John Kani, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, and introducing Blue Ivy Carter as Kiara, daughter of King Simba & Queen Nala.

Alas, this looks as dull and redundant as expected. I'm not really looking forward to watching this. Is anyone? 🦁 "A lion who would change our lives forever."

Here's the first teaser trailer

Walt Disney Pictures' 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 chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny — their bonds will be tested as they must work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

Mufasa: The Lion King is directed by Oscar-winning American writer / filmmaker Barry Jenkins, director of the films Medicine for Melancholy, Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, plus many shorts and the "The Underground Railroad" series previously.

The screenplay is written by Jeff Nathanson, the same writer as 2019's The Lion King movie. Based on Disney's The Lion King (1994), originally written by Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, Linda Woolverton. Produced by Adele Romanski and Mark Ceryak.

Walt Disney Pictures will debut Jenkins' Mufasa: The Lion King in theaters nationwide starting December 20th, 2024 later this year.
