Disney continues to prepare the audience for the theatrical release of Mufasa: The Lion Kinga prequel to the 2019 photorealistic installment, in turn a remake of the animated classic The lion king from 1994. This new installment will also be a photorealistic version, not strictly a live-action.
Let us remember that the marketing of the 2019 film promoted said film as a live-action, something that caused controversy among the audience, which is why for this prequel they are choosing to discard the words “live action.” The film is achieved by combining live-action cinematographic techniques with photorealistic computer-generated imagery.
The latest in the marketing campaign is a new official poster promoting the features in Screen X, available at the end of this note.
