\"Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka -- the heir to a royal bloodline,\" the synopsis reads.
\"The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny -- their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.\"
The new look at the film comes after Walt Disney Studios released the official trailer for the film in August.

In April, Jenkins shared with \"GMA\" that the film is about family.
\"The journey of this film is kind of understanding how someone can build a family out of these very disparate parts,\" he said at the time.
The director added that the film is also about \"how people who may be alone can find strength by coming together.\"

The star-studded cast for \"Mufasa\" includes Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Blue Ivy Carter, Donald Glover, Mads Mikkelsen, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, Anika Noni Rose and more.
\"Mufasa: The Lion King\" is set to release in theaters on Dec 20.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
