As a long-time fan of Disney’s The Lion King franchise, I was eagerly awaiting Mufasa: The Lion King, and it did not disappoint! The movie beautifully blends the past and present narratives, giving us a deeper understanding of Mufasa and Scar’s relationship. However, as a seasoned movie-goer who has grown accustomed to the thrill of post or end-credits scenes, I found myself slightly disappointed that there wasn’t one in Mufasa: The Lion King.
The Lion King” functions as both a prequel and sequel to the 2019 photo-realistic animated version of the 1994 classic cartoon movie, The Lion King. The narrative mainly focuses on Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) and a future Scar (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), delving into their initial interactions and how these events set the stage for the tragic and tumultuous end of their relationship. Typically, scenes shown during or after the credits provide additional story details or are included as tributes to fans. Since “Mufasa: The Lion King” is part of a larger storyline and movie franchise, viewers may be curious if it includes any post-credits or end-credit scenes.
Does Mufasa: The Lion King end with a mid or post-credits scene?
No, Mufasa: The Lion King reportedly doesn’t end with a mid or post-credits scene.
To clarify, the upcoming film serves as both a precursor and continuation to 2019’s The Lion King. The plot unfolds in two distinct storylines. One focuses on Rafiki the mandrill (John Kani) sharing the tale of Simba’s daughter Kiara (Blue Ivy Carter) with her, while another delves into the past and narrates the journey of Mufasa as he develops a bond with a young lion prince named Taka, who ultimately turns out to be Scar.
Since the story of the movie “Mufasa: The Lion King” moves between past and present timelines, it leaves room for speculation about whether there will be a sequel. However, given that viewers are already familiar with Mufasa and Scar’s fate, it seems unlikely that a continuation is planned. As for including additional scenes for fans in the post-credits or end credits, this decision ultimately lies with the filmmaker, Barry Jenkins (known for “Medicine for Melancholy” and “Moonlight”). In the case of “Mufasa: The Lion King,” it appears that he has chosen not to include any such scenes.
Mufasa: The Lion King debuts in U.S. theaters on Friday, December 20, 2024.
