It won't be the first time
The Lion King was formatted into IMAX.

MSN"]I'm also thrilled to announce that Disney's
Lion King, which comes out in July of 2019 and is directed by our longtime partner, Jon Favreau, will feature roughly 30 minutes of key sequences in our aspect ratio. And lastly, I'm excited to announce that
Wonder Woman 2, which comes out in the second half of 2019, will be shot with IMAX film cameras in select sequences. This Warner Brothers DC production, the sequel of the global juggernaut from 2017, is directed by Patti Jenkins and produced by Chuck Roven and Rebecca Oakley Roven. And we couldn't be more excited that IMAX has been chosen to be a part of the film's design.[/quote]
From what I can articulate, sequences will be formatted into an aspect ratio that is used with IMAX that displays more image than what you would normally get with a standard widescreen aspect ratio.
