Lion King Cast Revealed And It’s Huge
Live action Disney cartoons
movies are the buzz since Cinderella and Jungle Book came out a few years ago. A couple of week’s ago Disney revealed the cast of its live action The Lion King movie. The cast is well rounded with famous actors to unknown.
The Lion King movie will be written by Irene Mecchi (characters), Jeff Nathanson (screenplay) and directed by Jon Favreau (The Orville, Iron Man, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Avengers: Infinity War).
The best part of the casting to me is Mufasa, himself, James Earl Jones. Who also did the voice in the cartoon version of the movie. I am really excited to see this on the big screen again.
The cast also includes, Oscar winner, Donald Glover as adult Simba, Grammy award winner, Queen B herself, Beyonce as adult Nala and HBO’s Last Week Tonight Host John Oliver as Zuzu.
The rest of the Lion King Cast goes as follows:
- Seth Rogan – Pumba
- Billy Eichner – Timon
- Chiwetel Ejofor – Scar
- Keegan-Michael Key – Kamari
- Alfre Woodard – Sarabi
- Eric André – Azizi
- John Kani – Rafiki
- Florence Kasumba – Shenzi
- JD McCrary – Young Simba
- Shahadi Wright Joseph – Young Nala
Too bad we have to wait until Summer of 2019 to see it.
