Disney wants to expand TheLionKing into a 'Star Wars'-like franchise.
It seems Walt Disney Pictures has a never-ending stream of live-action remakes for fans of the franchise to look forward to. One of these, 2019's adaptation of The Lion King from director Jon Favreau, generated more than $1.6 billion at the global box office. A follow-up film is already on the way, and Disney's chief executive has now hinted that the studio is exploring a larger Lion King universe similar to the Star Wars saga.
In an interview with The New York Times, Sean Bailey, president of Walt Disney Pictures, said that there is the potential for Lion King to expand into "a big, epic saga" like Star Wars. “There’s a lot of room to run if we can find the stories,” Bailey said of a possible Lion King universe.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While it remains to be seen if this will pan out, there is already at least one expansion to the 2019 Lion King film on the way. Mufasa: The Lion King, a live-action prequel which will explore the origins of Simba's father, is in development with Moonlight director Barry Jenkins set to helm the project. James Earl Jones will not be returning as Mufasa, instead being replaced by Aaron Pierre as a younger version of the famed lion.
Disney is not done with its live-action remakes, though, with a number of other films coming down the pipeline. The next will be Snow White, an adaptation of Disney's first-ever animated film starring Rachel Zegler in the title role alongside Gal Gadot. While most of the live-action adaptations have focused on older films, some retellings of new projects are in development as well.
