The new โ€œLion Kingโ€ grossed more than $1.6 billion worldwide, so a sequel was perhaps always likely. Less expected was a โ€œLion Kingโ€ with Jenkins directing. The film, Disney said, will explore the mythology of โ€œThe Lion King,โ€ including Mufasa's origin story. Disney didn't announce any further plot details or casting on the new โ€œLion Kingโ€ project, which was first reported by Deadline Hollywood.
