Although filming completed towards the end of 2017, we’ve seen very little of Favreau’s Lion King movie, until now. Thanks to The Nerdy Basement, we’ve been given our first look at the animatronic model of Mufasa, the father of the protagonist, Simba. As you can see from the images below, the model looks just like a real lion, so much so that it seems like it could come alive at any minute. Just like in the 1994 original, Mufasa will be voiced by Darth Vader himself, James Earl Jones, and no other voice seems more appropriate for the mighty king of the Pride Lands.
