The Lion King is almost here and we've got an all new look at the whole cast of Disney's
live action remake.
It's been 25 years since the animated classic blew up the box office and now it's about
to do it again.
Let's take a look at all the new actors taking on the new interpretation.
Donald Glover plays Simba who is the one true king who must take back the Pridelands.
Chiwitel Ejiofor plays the villanous uncle Scar who comes up with an evil plan to try
and take the throne.
Beyonce plays Nala who is said to have a bigger role and her own song this time.
Beyonce also has a new original song created with composers Lebo M and Hans Zimmer.
Her role takes inspiration from the broadway play.
Alfre Woodard plays the composed and royal Sarabi who is left to watch the Pridelands
die with Scar as the new king.
Get ready for some laughs Kegan Michael Key plays Kamari
Florence Kasumba plays Shenzi Eric Andre is Azizi
Together they are the henchmen for Scar and a hilarious group of hyenas.
JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph are Young Simba and Young Nala.
They will definitely get themselves into trouble by sneaking out to that shadowy place where
they must never go.
Hakuna Matata, the ultimate Disney duo Timon and Pumbaa will be played by Billy Eichner
as Timon and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, let's hope he doesn't really stink up the place.
And the most different looking character is Zazu played by John Oliver.
Zazu will be keeping Simba in check, or at least he will try to.
For some reason there is none for Mufasa so we made our own.
The king of the Pridelands Mufasa, and one of the saddest moments in any Disney movie.
The Lion King is looking amazing and we can't wait to see it when it roars into theaters
on July 19.
