Fans of The Lion King likely know that the original animated film spawned two additional films – The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride and The Lion King 1 ½ .
That film expanded on Simba’s family life and introduced new characters such as his daughter, Kiara.
If the sequel were to draw inspiration from either film, it would probably be Simba’s Pride.
Story details are being kept tightly under wraps, though the trade reports that the story will further the mythology of the characters by diving into the origins of the late Mufasa.
