Return to Pride Rock with Mufasa: The Lion King trailer

August 10, 2024 by Matt Rodgers

Disney has released the full trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King, their Pride Rock-prequel directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins which tells the story of how Mufasa became the powerful leader from the original.

Lending their vocals to the pride lands are Aaron Pierre as Mufasa; Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka, a lion prince with a bright future who accepts Mufasa into his family as a brother; Tiffany Boone as Sarabi; Kagiso Lediga as Young Rafiki; Preston Nyman as Zazu; Mads Mikkelsen as Kiros, a formidable lion with big plans for his pride; Thandiwe Newton as Taka’s mother, Eshe; Lennie James as Taka’s father, Obasi; Anika Noni Rose as Mufasa’s mother, Afia; Keith David as Mufasa’s father, Masego; John Kani as Rafiki; Seth Rogen as Pumbaa; Billy Eichner as Timon; Donald Glover as Simba; introducing Blue Ivy Carter as Kiara, daughter of King Simba and Queen Nala; and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala. Check out the trailer below…

Exploring the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, “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 work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

Mufasa: The Lion King roars into theaters on December 20th.
