Jon Favreau’s The Lion King is moving right along and has now landed two comedians as the voices of Timon and Pumbaa.
The Wrap is reporting that Seth Rogen has joined the project to voice the lovable but stinky Pumbaa, while Billy Eichner will be providing the voice to Timon.
The meerkat and warthog duo – voiced by Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella in the 1994 animated Lion King, respectively – are among the most memorable characters from the original Disney classic.
Now the pair will be working together once again and should give the onscreen (animal) duo plenty of comedy chops.
