Barry Jenkins’ Mufasa: The Lion King teaser trailer is indistinguishable from The Lion King

If no one was asking for a live-action Lion King remake, then really no one—maybe even negative people—were asking for a live-action Lion King remake prequel.

The sameness extends to the characters and cast, including Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and John Kani, who are all reprising their roles from the 2019 film. But Mufasa also features that movie’s Simba and Nala, Donald Glover, and Beyoncé. Apparently, the film is both a prequel and a sequel, alternating timelines with Mufasa’s story and Simba and Nala raising their daughter Kiara, played here by Beyoncé’s actual daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
