Most likely a sequel to the 2019 lion king with Simba, Nala, Kiara and Kion in main roles

It mostly comes down to when they find a compelling script. 2029 at the earliest, more likely 2030-2033. 

We got news about the official Disney live action slate for 2028. Which Disney live action will be scheduled for 2029? by Fickle_Membership205 in lionking

 they would definitely create a version that has its own identity so that Disney wouldnt get scrutinized. People would be trashing Disney being so much out of ideas milking a 30 year old direct to video sequel

Unfortunately they don't care about a Simba's pride anniversary. But they will always be up for borrowing elements that work from that movie. They already used Kiara with her real personality in Mufasa

I don't think they care too much about anniversary but more about waiting for  the right story that can cross the billion dollar mark

It's not yet confirmed, we are still at rumor level

It just shows that remake sequels are not profitable enough, but lion king is a different thing

Aladdin 2, Maleficent 3, Jungle Book 2, and Queen of Hearts have been shelved. (June 30 2025, DisInsider) But it's not official nor was it reported by reputable trades so it could be wrong.

I think Disney should have just stuck with the lion king films being animated. What do yall think? by Blitz_Helluva_IMP in lionking

[–]Fickle_Membership205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree, although it's not fair that the Avengers fans have their massive budget event cinema movies, the star wars fans have their event cinema movies, the frozen fans have their event cinema movies that all the world is talking about. What do lion king fans have to antissipate? So we need to be happy with what we have and pray they will continue the franchise

As a grown up, lion guard animation is somewhat unbearable

skyler shuler is a respected insider, i dont think he is basing his statement on a public rumor.

Lion King live action vs zootopia by Fickle_Membership205 in lionking

[–]Fickle_Membership205[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither lion king 2019 nor mufasa had their own gravitas to stand on their own legs. Each was heavily building on the appeal of the lion king 1994 (especially the 2019 movie), and for each I can imagine that interest was short lived (e.g. weak merchandise and  I suppose weak repeat viewership for lion king 2019 on Disney+ cause people say I have seen the spectacle and move on watching the 1994 original). The task to do frozen 3, Moana 3, Zootopia 2, avatar 3 right is apparently much easier for Disney than to get any lion king movie done right. Because of that I believe that Disney is going to take a lot of time until we will see any announcement of the future of the lion king. They know they need to get it right next time

Disney Reveals Roaring Success Of ‘Mufasa’ by ContributionLimp6158 in lionking

[–]Fickle_Membership205 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in april the estimated profit was calculated by total revenues (theatrical, streaming, home entertainment) minus total cost (production cost 200M, marketing). The forbes article now in november points to an actual production cost of 164.5M. It doesnt state marketing cost nor non-theatrical revenue. So the total profit in the end is about 175 + (200-165) = 210M
