Could have sworn that it existed already, but WHATEVA.
Cashing in on the major payday that was “The Lion King”…Disney is planning a live action sequel:
EXCLUSIVE: 'The Lion King' sequel in the works with @BarryJenkins set to direct#TheLionKing https://t.co/2Aro3ZaOFj
— Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) September 29, 2020
So far, the plan for the film is very hush-hush.
But rumour has it that it will spend a good chunk of time on Mufasa’s origin story.
90’s kids will note that a sequel already EXISTS to the Lion King. Although it doesn’t look like Disney will be following the “Simba’s Pride” plot line…
