Mufasa: The Lion King is just $2 million away from one more major milestone. But can it get there before the film leaves the box office?

Broadway's The Lion King welcomes two-time Tony Award nominee Gavin Lee to the company as Scar on July 22. He replaces Michael Hollick in the role.

Disney's next live-action Lion King movie after Mufasa should take inspiration from another profitable series that puts its villain in the spotlight.

Few shows are as beloved as "The Lion King," which has been captivating Broadway audiences with the story of Simba, Scar and the Pride Lands for nearly three decades.
