Jenkins' final sentence makes a distinction between past and present in the movie, hinting that some scenes in Mufasa will take place around the same time as The Lion King. With the number of Lion King characters that could return in Mufasa, such as Mufasa's mate Sarabi or his royal advisor Zazu, it would make sense to construct the film around characters who knew Mufasa telling the story of his life. In addition to suggesting the film's structure, Jenkins also teases "wonderful musical numbers" throughout.
Jenkins' details about what audiences will see in Mufasa make the film sound like a familiar experience for Lion King fans, but also one that stands on its own. If the film is set to have scenes in the present alongside Mufasa's origins, it would make sense for present-day characters to reminisce, those memories forming the backbone of the story. If that's the case, then it should prove interesting to see what Scar's role in the film will be and how he will be portrayed compared to his brother.
