Synopsis Gladiator II:
The story begins with Simba (Donald Glover) and Nala (Beyoncé) preparing to welcome another cub. Without explanation, they vanish into the forest, leaving their daughter Kiara (voiced by Blue Ivy Carter) under the care of Timon the meerkat (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa the warthog (Seth Rogen). In the meantime, Rafiki (John Kani) recounts the origin story of Mufasa (Aaron Pierre) and Scar (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) to Kiara. Interestingly, the film challenges Disney’s established canon by suggesting juniorbola that Simba’s lineage does not originate from the Pride Lands, flipping the traditional narrative on its head.
