Trailer

According to the trailer, the film appears to focus on the unsaid story of Mufasa and his brother Scar, formerly Taka. Mufasa, an orphaned cub, approaches Taka's pride only to be rejected by the others. However, they eventually unite and become "brothers." As they grow up together, playing and killing foes side by side, Taka rebels against Mufasa to become the sole "Lion King." With lots of danger, boldness, and humour along the road, the prequel aims to shed light on Mufasa's hitherto unknown existence before becoming the distinguished ruler of the African savannah.

While Aaron Pierre plays Mufasa, Kelvin Harrison voices Taka as Scar, followed by Tiffany Boone as Sarabi, Thandiwe Newton as Taka's mother Eshe, and Donald Glover as Simba. The live-action feature, directed by Barry Jenkins, is scheduled to hit theaters in December.
