‘Mufasa’ Cast Breakdown: See the Faces Behind All the Animals in ‘The Lion King’ Prequel Movie
From Aaron Pierre as Mufasa to Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner, here's the full cast of "Mufasa: The Lion King."
All of this is to say that expectations are high for “Mufasa: The Lion King,” a prequel to the 2019 film directed by “Moonlight” Oscar winner and “If Beale Street Could Talk” filmmaker Barry Jenkins. The movie then flashes back to show how Mufasa (voiced by Jenkins’ “The Underground Railroad” star Aaron Pierre) went from an orphaned cub to king of the Pride Lands. Viewers might recognize Kani’s voice as he played King T’Chaka in the MCU in “Captain America: Civil War” and “Black Panther.” Flashbacks in “Mufasa” feature Kagiso Lediga as young Rafiki.
