In the latest episode of Collider Forces, Aaron Pierre, the voice of Mufasa in the upcoming “Lion King” prequel, shares information about the computer-animated film, which will be released in December 2024.
Firstly, Pierre recognizes James Earl Jones as a significant influence, but he views this as a chance to depict Mufasa distinctly, adding his personal touch to the character. He plans to delve into Mufasa’s early life and the path he took to become king.
As described in the film summary, the movie takes us back to the savannah, where Rafiki tells the story of her grandfather to Kiara, Simba, and Nala’s daughter. This will be accompanied by remarks from Timon and Pumbaa.
The film will feature familiar faces from the 2019 remake, as John Kani returns as Rafiki, while Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen are back as the hilarious duo of Timon and Pumbaa. Pierre’s co-star from “Genius,” Kelvin Harrison Jr, will be joining him in the movie as Scar. Kelvin will be playing a version of the character named Taka before he becomes the infamous Scar. It’s exciting to see them working together again!
