Set in the Pride Lands of Tanzania after the events of the 2019 Lion King film, Mufasa follows Mufasa and Taka, who become friends and eventually adoptive brothers until a series of devastating events threaten their bond.
Director Jenkins has said it was important to revisit the Disney classic so the audience would understand that the protagonist, Lion Mufasa, was never perfect and that the villain Scar was not always evil.
“For 30 years, we've been living with this idea of Mufasa as unimpeachably great and good, and Scar is like the full embodiment of evil,” Jenkins had earlier told news agency Reuters.
