Én ting er at Disney fortsat i fuld gang med at lave enten live-action eller animerede remakes af deres populære tegnefilm, men nu får de her remakes også deres helt egne spin-offs.
Eksempelvis har de afsløret, under D23, at det populære remake af The Lion King nu får et prequel spin-off ved navn Mufasa: The Lion King, der åbenbart udforsker karakterens ungdom.
Filmen instrueres af Barry Jenkins, der har sagt følgende om projektet:
"I had to make this movie. Because when I was 14 I was raising two nephews and there was a VHS tape that we watched about 95 times in the span of two days. I was thinking about Mufasa and how he becomes great... I am not a king, I am not a king... Mufasa is great because of the family and friends he has with him."
Jenkins har faktisk en Oscar for at have instrueret Moonlight. Filmen lander i 2024.
