Who is in the Mufasa: The Lion King posters?
Mufasa: The Lion King’s IMAX, Dolby, 4DX, and ScreenX posters highlight the brotherhood between Mufasa and Taka, which featured the characters’ kid and teenage versions. They will be voiced by Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr., respectively.
“The film explores the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands. Rafiki relays the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “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.”
