Fan still have a long way to wait for the movie to be released as Disney has now announced a release date or even shared a schedule for the production of the film.
Speaking about ‘The ion King’, Barry Jenkins said:
“Helping my sister raise two young boys during the ’90s, I grew up with these characters. Having the opportunity to work with Disney on expanding this magnificent tale of friendship, love and legacy while furthering my work chronicling the lives and souls of folk within the African diaspora is a dream come true.”
