Moonlight director Barry Jenkins he has issued for his the two different voices of the Lands of Pride photo-realistic The Lion King prequel. Kelvin Harrison Jr. will play the stoic and thoughtful leader Mufasa, with Aaron Pierre expressing his cunning and disloyal brother Scar (whose government name is Taka).
However, not much is known about the prequel is expected to focus on the brothers’ the early years and their incipient rivalry, taking advantage of a new history that has not yet been explored The lion king (1994), The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, or even The lion king 1 1/2, which tells the story of the origin of The friendship of Timon and Pumbaa. That is the first announcement of the cast of the pre-Simba-era film, but Jenkins is unlikely to get high-profile names similar to those in the first film.
“Helping my sister raise two boys during the ’90s, I grew up with these characters.” Jenkins has said of the prequel. “Having the opportunity to work with Disney to expand this magnificent story of friendship, love and legacy while fostering my chronicle work on the lives and souls of people in the African diaspora is a dream come true.”
Pierre previously worked with Jenkins on his Emmy nominee series The underground railway, in which Pierre made Caesar a fugitive slave. The newcomer also starred in the Superman-based series Krypton, and appeared in M. Night Shyamalan’s new film Old (About the beach that makes you old) as a character named a medium-sized sedan. Harrison Jr. exploded after his role as Tyler al Film by Trey Edward Shults Waves. He also appeared in The Chicago Trail 7, i Monsters and men.
Hans Zimmer (who got the original version and the 2019 version) rewrites the score of the film with Pharrell and SuccessionNicholas Britell, who composed the scores for Moonlight i The underground railway. Jeff Nathanson, who scripted the last film, returns as the screenwriter of the original story.
