If it didn’t necessarily win everyone over on an artistic level with its highly faithful take on the 1994 animated classic, Disney’s reimagined Lion King – which presented a photorealistic ‘live-action’ (if really completely computer-generated) version of the Hamlet-with-lions story – made a shedload of cash at the box office. With a worldwide haul of $1.65 billion, everything the light touched in summer 2019 more or less did belong to Jon Favreau’s new version. And now, it’s getting a sequel from an unlikely source: director Barry Jenkins, behind the Oscar-winning Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk.
