Directed by Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins, the upcoming movie will focus on the early life of Lion King Mufasa and his best buddy Taka aka Scar. At the D23 event in ​​Anaheim, California at Walt Disney Studios, Disney released the trailer of the movie, giving a sneak peek into Taka and Scar's early life.

Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka — the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny — their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe."
