The source for this information appears to be a tweet unrelated to any official spokesperson, but it seems plausible enough as a premise. 11/10/2023 - "Mufasa" Release Delayed Till December 2024 https://collider.com/mufasa-the-lion-king-prequel-new-release-date-december-2024/ The newly updated release date for Mufasa: The Lion King , previously set for July 5, 2024, has been pushed back to December 20, 2024, largely as a result of the recently resolved SAG-AFTRA strike. This puts the movie on a release date that coincides with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 . 09/22/2022 - Mufasa Details from Barry Jenkins https://www.watchinnz.co.nz/barry-jenkins-teases-mufasa-prequel/ A brief article that gives us a bit of insight into the structure of the upcoming prequel: As confirmed on the D23 stage, Rafiki, Timon, and Pumbaa would use flashbacks to tell the story of the monarch of Pride Rock in Mufasa: The Lion King. Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and John Kani, respectively, provided the voices for these characters in the 2019 motion picture The Lion King. James Earl Jones first played Mufasa in the Disney movie in 1994, and he reprised the role for the 2019 remake. 09/09/2022 - Title announced for The Lion King: Mufasa https://twitter.com/disneylionking/status/1568379616968179712 Also announced for the upcoming prequel CGI movie is a release date of 2024. 02/16/2022 - TLK (non-)Prequel to Focus on Scar A Reddit post purports to show leaked information that director Barry Jenkins has some concrete plans for the upcoming followup to the 2019 CGI TLK remake: https://www.reddit.com/r/lionking/comments/stu8a6/untitled_lion_king_film_update_5_hint_that_the/ "Then there’s the small matter of a certain Disney prequel. Last summer, the studio confirmed that Harrison will voice a younger version of Scar, Mufasa’s nefarious brother, in a new Lion King film, directed by Oscar winner Barry Jenkins. The secrecy surrounding the project is so tight that he can’t yet shed any light on Jenkins’ vision for the Pride Lands, but the original, which came out the year I was born,” was a big part of his childhood, and he’s excited to become a Disney villain - technically a prince… I’m not a fan of heroes. They’re cool but someone else can do that. I love the villains - Maleficent, Scar, Jafar - they’re so much more fun to play. I’m kind of stoked.” That quote is from a linked article on Kelvin Harrison, slated to play the younger Scar. But the Reddit post linked above has a lot more bits and pieces cobbled together to summarize what we know so far.
