When Will Mufasa: The Lion King Be on Disney Plus?
If you’re already fielding questions from younger family members—or are simply curious yourself—about when Mufasa: The Lion King will hit Disney Plus, you’re not alone. While Disney hasn’t announced an official streaming date yet, we can make an educated guess based on recent release patterns.
A Probable Disney Plus Release Date for Mufasa: The Lion King
Looking at Disney's recent films, two key examples provide a solid roadmap:
- Inside Out 2 premiered in theaters on June 14 and arrived on Disney Plus 103 days later, on September 25.
- Deadpool 3, a major Disney/Marvel release, debuted in cinemas in July and was available for streaming 109 days later on November 12.
For movies with slightly lower box-office expectations, Disney typically follows a 90-day release window, though more successful films may see extended theatrical runs of an additional week or two.
Given these trends, Mufasa: The Lion King will likely arrive on Disney Plus around late March 2025. If it mirrors the longer release windows of other blockbusters, a mid-April debut is also possible, but late March seems the most probable timeframe based on early box office projections.
