Disney released the live-action prequel of the Lion King via Mufasa, the father of Simba

During the D23 event in California, Disney unveiled the new trailer for the Mufasa movie — the prequel to the Lion King series. It was first announced in April that Beyonce and her daughter Blue Ivy would have a special role.

In the trailer, Kiara learns the story about her grandfather, Mufasa, or Simba’s father. We see the latter meet Taka, indicating how they became brothers.

Mufasa is considered an outsider and as he and Taka become close, their bond and relationship is tested by a deadly foe.
