The trailer of Mufasa: The Lion King was released recently and it is making the audience excited. Mufasa‘s (Aaron Pierre) young age in the film and his relationship with his friend Taka (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) understand many of the concerns. While the photorealistic CG-animated remake of The Lion King released in 2019 was a huge success worldwide, now its prequel is a big milestone.
As the trailer opens, Mufasa, who is in a soft-spoken style, is joined by a new-style Timon (Billy Eichner) and Puma (Seth Rogen) to add a few dollops of humor. Later, a young Mufasa begins his journey in a dramatic flashback. On this journey he meets young Simba’s mother Sarabi (Tiffany Boone), young Rafiki (Kagiso Lediga) and Zaju (Preston Nyman). These characters play a vital role in Mufasa’s life, administration and building his future kingdom.

What’s new in this trailer is that Young Zazu and Rafiki seem to have preferred the roles. Zazu’s role in The Lion King was largely a typical comic one, but in this prequel, Zazu has a chance to show his role as Sarabi’s scout in a more dashing and talented way. The character will be introduced to the film as a new look at Zazu’s efforts, Mufasa’s progress and his abilities.
The rest of the characters also elaborate their role in this prequel. Young Rafiki, for example, appears to be developing and maintaining the spiritual power she knew in earlier memories. But, the rest of the distance on him, his stresses and misunderstandings are evident in the trailer. Remembered as a “hallucinating baboon”, the trailer suggests that Rafiki embarks on a journey of understanding his own soul.

It’s not just a prequel to The Lion King, but a comprehensive experience that takes away the big implications of the 2019 film.
