Mufasa: The Lion King is not only a prequel to the 2019 live-action remake of Disney's animated classic, it's also in dialogue with both that and the 1994 original. So much so, in fact, that the cast of Mufasa and its director Barry Jenkins believe it will enhance your next rewatch of either Lion King movies.
"I do hope people go back and forth. Now knowing how close these characters were at a certain point, I imagine it's going to make some of those interactions in the original film take on a new context," Jenkins tells GamesRadar+ of how Mufasa and Scar's origins will inform later events.
