Walt Disney Studios

Disney has a TON of upcoming movies and shows on the horizon, each one more exciting sounding than the last. In fact, there were over 30 remakes, reboots, and sequel movies in the works at Walt Disney Studios last we checked. No matter how you feel about the remakes, we can all probably agree that a trailer for a new Disney movie is exciting — and we’ve got one to share now!

We just got a look at the very first trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King coming soon. We’ve known about this live-action prequel for a while, but we’ve officially got our first look at what the movie will look like.

“A lion who would change our lives forever.” Mufasa: The Lion King tells the story of Mufasa and his rise to being the king of the Pride Lands. The story is being relayed by Rafiki to Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala. The story will be told through flashbacks, beginning with Mufasa as an orphaned cub.

The movie promises an “expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny.” The movie looks like it will be full of action and features a fantastic cast of voice actors. Check out the new trailer below!

You can catch Mufasa: The Lion King in theaters on December 20th, 2024.
