heck out the final trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King, an upcoming film starring Aaron Pierre (Mufasa), Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Taka/Scar), Tiffany Boone (Sarabi), Kagiso Lediga (Young Rafiki), Preston Nyman (Zazu), Mads Mikkelsen (Kiros), Thandiwe Newton (Eshe), Lennie James (Obasi), Anika Noni Rose (Afia), Keith David (Masego), John Kani (Rafiki), Seth Rogen (Pumbaa), Billy Eichner (Timon), Donald Glover (Simba), Blue Ivy Carter (Kiara), Braelyn Rankins (Young Mufasa), Theo Somolu (Young Taka), Folake Olowofoyeku, Joanna Jones, Thuso Mbedu, Sheila Atim, Abdul Salis, Dominique Jennings, and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter (Nala).
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.
Blending live-action filmmaking techniques with photoreal computer-generated imagery, the all-new feature film is produced by Adele Romanski & Mark Ceryak, and executive produced by Peter Tobyansen.
Mufasa: The Lion King opens in theaters on December 20, 2024.

00:00Well, what do we have here?
00:03Move your head and let me see. Come on.
00:06Oh, oh, this is the thing.
00:08What thing?
00:09It's the thing!
00:11It's time I tell you a story.
00:13A story!
00:14So glad I brought some crickets.
00:16Rafiki, keep going.
00:17The story about a prince who would come to be known as Scar and an orphan named Mufasa.
00:24Two brothers who set off on a dangerous journey to find a new home and a new family.
00:33Why are you following us?
00:34I was hoping to find my pride.
00:36My name is Mufasa.
00:37I'm Sarabi.
00:38My name is Taka.
00:39He's going to start a new kingdom.
00:41Come with us.
00:42You don't have anyone.
00:43She does indeed have someone.
00:45That's Zazu, my scout.
00:46Don't eat him.
00:47You heard her. Do not eat me.
00:51Places to go. Kingdoms to see.
00:55Finally, food.
00:56If you take my life, you will never find where you're going.
00:59Taka, do not eat him.
01:01Wonderful. Another we're not supposed to eat.
01:06You expect us to follow this hallucinating baboon?
01:12No offense.
01:16Outsiders, this is not a drill.
01:20There will be one Lion King.
01:24We have to carry on. We owe that to each other.
01:29We're trapped.
01:30What do we do?
01:31Get ready to run!
01:35I never signed up for this.
01:42We have come to rule without mercy.
01:46Taka!
01:47This was a bad idea!
01:50I will not bend to evil.
01:52We must fight together.
01:54We are nearing destiny, Mufasa.
01:58And so, the earth must shake.
02:03Stand down!
02:04I am highly trained and occasionally effective.
02:07No!
02:08We rule together!
02:22To be continued...
