Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King trailer suggests that the upcoming prequel will be one of the most expansive stories yet seen in the popular franchise, but a crucial detail suggests that the studio is still struggling with how best to deal with the project's biggest unresolvable problem.

One of the most iconic screen and theatrical actors of all time, James Earl Jones is instantly recognizable thanks to his distinctive basso profundo speaking voice. His performance as Mufasa in the original 1994 The Lion King gave the monarch a majesty and gravitas that few other performers would have been able to manifest. Given how central Mufasa's voice is to this impression, it's understandable that the character's first speech in Mufasa will be highly anticipated.

“He would do a take and then he would ask me for direction and I honestly couldn’t give an answer! I was like, ‘You’re Mufasa.’ Far be it from me… Everything he said sounded perfect because it was him saying it.”
