The Cast For Disney’s Lion King Remake Roars With Excellence

The film, planned for roughly one year and a half from now will include Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) in the lead role of “Simba.” Beyoncé is confirmed to play the female lead “Nala,” while James Earl Jones will reprise his role of “Mustafa.” TV’s Keegan-Michael Key takes the introduced role of “Kamari,” as John Oliver will play horn-bill bird “Zazu.” Meanwhile, TV host and experimental comedian Eric Andre will play what appears to be a new character, “Azizi.”

Other cast members include Seth Rogen (“Pumbaa”), Alfre Woodard (“Sarabi”), Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Scar”), and Black Panther’s Florence Kasumba (“Shenzi”).

With the exception of Jones’ role, the 1994 version of the film used primarily white actors to voice the characters. That film became the 29th highest-grossing film of all-time, as it was adapted to a Broadway musical. Its music earned two Academy Awards.

As Donald Glover is part of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the MC/musician takes the lead in two of the modern world’s most beloved film franchises.
