The Lion King has been in production since May, so hopefully in the coming weeks or months, we’ll learn who will voice the remainder of the main characters, including Scar, Rafiki and the hyena trio.
Besides John Oliver, The Lion King cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Billy Eichner as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and James Earl Jones reprising Mufasa.
Beyonce was also approached to voice Nala, but it hasn’t been confirmed if she accepted the role.
Perhaps this weekend’s D23 convention will provide more updates if we’re lucky.
