We could see a whole host of new Lion King movies.
The Lion King could become a great franchise, in true Star Wars style, as has been dropped by the president of Walt Disney Pictures himself. The original film took place in 1994 and without a doubt it was very well received due to the great story it offered us. In fact, it’s crowned one of Disney’s most beloved movies, offering great moments and even loads of merch. So we confirm that The Lion King has been a success.
After a few years and after several animated films, in 2019 we had a photorealistic remake by John Favreau. In fact, this film was even more successful and both children and adults have once again enjoyed this great story. Older, we also know that Mufasa: The Lion King is in development by Barry Jenkins, director of Moonlight. Such is the success and impact of this saga, that even the One Piece actors made their little tribute.
The Lion King could become a great saga
In addition to having a new installment in development as we have just mentioned, the head of Disney doesn’t want to just stop there. He wants to transform The Lion King into a great saga in the pure Star Wars style, so it would not be unreasonable if we could see many more installments of the franchise. Let’s remember that the Star Wars franchise belongs to Disney since 2012 and now it wants Mufasa, Simba and company to become the stars of the company.
The Lion King could become a big, epic saga, like the Star Wars franchise. We can tell many things if we find the right stories.
The movie of Mufasa: The Lion King is scheduled for release next summer of the year 2024; This film will tell us about the life of the young Mufasa in order to understand a little better his fatal relationship with his brother Scar. The origin of this story is just one of the many stories that the Disney director intends to tell, so we will have to be attentive to everything they can show us.
Let’s remember that the animated films have two more installments in addition to the first, and two television series are also available to us: one about Timon and Pumbaa and another titled The Lion Guard.
