On April 29, the official Instagram page of Disney dropped the clip, which gives us a glimpse of the new work of young Mufasa and his sibling Scar. Aaron Pierre voices the new Mufasa, a role previously voiced by James Earl Jones. The voiceover starts, “This story begins far beyond the mountains and the shadows, on the other side of the light. A lion was born without a drop of nobility in his blood. A lion who would change our lives forever.”
The video features a large meadow where giraffes, hippos, elephants, and lions coexist, along with a stark, icy landscape. The clip ends with the dialogue “Destiny awaits you”.
In ‘Mufasa,’ Kelvin Harrison Jr. steps into the role of Taka, a young lion prince who embraces Mufasa as a brother in his family. Tiffany Boone takes on the role of Sarabi, while Mads Mikkelsen portrays Kiros, a powerful lion with ambitious plans for his pride.

The Oscar-winning director of ‘Moonlight,’ Barry Jenkins, is helming the project.
