In May 2018, Matthew Broderick and his philanthropic organization Random Act Funding partnered with Omaze to initiate a contest to benefit the organization. A randomly chosen winner from those that donated would receive an Lion King set visit. A life-sized statue of Scar, created by Legacy Effects, was on display at D23 Expo 2018, alongside statues of "Army of Scar": Janja, Reirei, Ushari, and Mzingo. Additionally, Hahn, Minkoff, Broderick, Irons, Dick, Chabert, Bender, Mitchell, Rush, Sabella, Atkinson, Lane, Woodard, Marsden, Payton, Jones, and Riegel appeared at D23 Expo 2018 to present a clip highlighting the 80 years of Disney films, along with footage from *The Lion King Reborn*. The footage, which was screened exclusively for the panel, received strong audience reaction, with fans "literally on their feet and jumping as the footage played". Julia Alexander of Polygon commented, "to say that there was quite a bit happening in the trailer would be one heck of an understatement." She was excited that the film would deliver on the character interactions in one film and that *The Lion King Reborn* "finally feels like Disney has made the movie it always wanted to—and the one we've always wanted to see. For nearly ten years we dreamt of this reality and to see it play across a massive screen... it was impossible to not feel emotional." CinemaBlend's Eric Eisenberg said the footage left him "literally shaking", with the film looking "like it could be one of the most epic blockbusters ever created", concluding "the hype [for the film] most definitely feels very, very real". Haleigh Foutch for Collider said, "It looks dark and dramatic, and utterly epic. It's clear Disney is trying to do something different here... to pay off a decade's worth of narrative and world-building. While it's impossible to tell from two minutes work of footage, it certainly looks like that gamble paid off." The D23 footage was also shown at the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con International.

As the red carpet premiere for the movie has been confirmed in Los Angeles, the Russo brothers, producer Peter Jackson, and many cast members including Downey, Hemsworth, DeVito, Evans, Johansson, Cumberbatch, Cheadle, Lilly, Holland, Boseman, Law, Bettany, Olsen, Mackie, Stan, Hiddleston, Elba, Dinklage, Neeson, Rudd, Wong, Klementieff, Gillan, Pace, Alexander, Azaria, Bautista, Saldana, Spader, Pratt, Diesel, Cooper, del Toro, Jackson, Goldblum, Ferrell, Serkis, Thompson, Weaving, Iglesias, and Feore are all scheduled to come to the premiere.
