Sequel to The Lion King Will Have New Characters

It looks like casting is underway for Disney’s sequel to The Lion King and although we will see some of our favorite characters return, it seems like we will be introduced to new ones as well.

The film seems to look at younger Scar and Mufasa as casting asks for kids ages 8 to 13. It also has a call out for new characters named Adah, Horatio, Elijah, Celia, Kaliban, Cardi, and Zola. We don’t know anything about these new characters and are interested to see what they bring to the story.

The film will be produced by Adele Romanski and Mark Ceryak. Production will begin in Los Angeles on September 6. Though no release date has been officially announced, it is likely that this will be a theatrical release, rather than one going straight to Disney+.

There is no official title as of yet- however, the working title is confirmed to be Wonderwall.

My name is Jennifer Retzlaff and I became a lifelong Disney fan during my first trip to Walt Disney World in 6th grade. From that moment, Disney became a big part of my life.

I started introducing my love for Disney early to my family with a Disney honeymoon and then trips when our youngest of 18 months. Since then, our family has been to Walt Disney World over five times and we continue to plan and dream for the next trip. I love the magic that Disney brings to people through the theme parks, cruises, adventures and movies they create. As a teacher, I try to bring that magic into my classroom to help kids believe that “If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.” I recently reached a dream of mine as I joined Magic Vacation Planner as a personal travel advisor. With this team, I can now help others plan magical vacations. As a passionate writer, I also have my own blog at magicalvacationsbyjen which More »
