Jon Favreau (who directed last year’s live-action remake of The Jungle Book) has already started casting his upcoming adaptation of the 1994 animated classic The Lion King.
Still, the talents of Glover and Jones should go a long way to bringing The Lion King to life.
Screen Rant will have more information for you regarding Disney’s live-action The Lion King as soon as details are made available.
In a surprise tease on Twitter this afternoon, Favreau revealed that Donald Glover has joined the movie as the lead, Simba, and James Earl Jones will be reprising his role as Simba’s father, Mufasa.
