The Lion King tells the story of a young cub named Simba, who is manipulated into fleeing the pride lands he was destined to rule after his uncle Scar murders King Mufasa and convinces the prince that he is responsible for his own father’s death. After meeting two eccentric companions and reuniting with childhood friend Nala, an adult Simba finds himself confronted with the choice of remaining in exile or returning home to end the tyrannical rule of Scar and take his rightful place as King.

The Lion King will be released in theaters on July 19, 2019. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on Aladdin and the rest of Disney’s live-action remake as we learn it.
