The film stars Aaron Pierre as Mufasa and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka, with Blue Ivy Carter making her voice acting debut as Kiara. The score was composed by Dave Metzger, while Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote original songs for the soundtrack.

Mufasa: The Lion King
Disney shared a behind-the-scenes clip featuring director Barry Jenkins and songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda with Rolling Stone. The clip will be included as part of the behind-the-scenes extras for the film’s digital and physical release. You can check it out below.
In the clip, Miranda discusses writing “I Always Wanted A Brother,” saying that the inspiration came from the script, which was “so clear.”
Mufasa: The Lion King serves a sequel and prequel to 2019’s The Lion King. The original 1994 film was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride (1998) and The Lion King 1½ (2004).
