The comedic dynamic duo is back
Disney
The pair’s goofy sense of humor and comedic timing were certainly among the most memorable parts of the 2019 film, which was among the most financially lucrative entries of the Disney CGI remake era. “The Lion King,” a fairly by-the-numbers revamp which starred Beyonce and Donald Glover, raked in over $1.6 billion dollars at the global box office, more than enough to warrant its upcoming prequel.
The new film reportedly won’t follow an existing “The Lion King” storyline, but will tell the stories of Scar and Mufasa from a young age. In addition to Rogen and Eichner, “Mufasa: The Lion King” will star two talented young performers, Aaron Pierre (“Old,” “The Underground Railroad”) and Kelvin Harrison Jr. (“Luce,” “Waves”) as the lions who will one day play out their own African plains-set version of “Hamlet.” First footage from “Mufasa: The Lion King” was already revealed at D23 this year, introducing baby Mufasa and ending with voiceover from Eichner and Rogen, indicating they may help narrate the story. “So wait, you’re telling the story without us?” the meerkat and warthog interject, interrupting Rafiki.
“Mufasa: The Lion King” does not have a set release date, but is reportedly expected in 2024.
