The Lion King prequel is officially underway, as Deadline is reporting that Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Aaron Pierre are set to star in the upcoming film.
Additional cast members are currently unknown, but if it’s anything like the latest live-action adaptation of The Lion King, expect some huge names to join the film.
2019’s The Lion King was a smash hit despite a lukewarm reception by critics and fans, earning over $1.6 billion at the box office.
Deadline notes that the untitled prequel will continue to use the photorealistic animation style that the latest live-action film did.
