The live-action remake of Disney’s The Lion King is almost upon us and the excitement levels are nearly as grand as Mufasa’s mane.

James Ear Jones is once again returning as the voice of the king of Pride Rock, and will be joined by Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Billy Eichner as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, John Kani as Rafiki, and John Oliver as Zazu.

All the actors now have their own poster featuring their animal character in their CGI glory.

The posters offers a proper look at some of the film’s characters, with creators still trying to retain the aesthetic familiar to fans who adored the 1994 version.

The movie also has a new TV spot which includes Rafiki holding up baby Simba, and Mufasa reminding the young cub, “You must remember who you are, the one true king.”

The Lion King will be in cinemas on July 19th.

The live-action feature is helmed by Jungle Book director Jon Favreau, and by the looks of it, the remake is a very realistic almost shot-by-shot take on the classic 1994 animated film.

The trailer opens with Simba and Nala exploring the elephant graveyard. It also features Simba’s exile at the encouragement of his uncle Scar. There’s also a glimpse of Simba, Pumbaa and Timon’s life together. 

The film features a stellar voice cast including Donald Glover (Simba), Beyoncé (Nala), Seth Rogan (Pumbaa), Billy Eichner (Timon), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scar), John Oliver (Zazu), and James Earl Jones (returning to voice Mufasa).

The Lion King joins a number of classics that got the live-action treatment including The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast and Dumbo. Another Disney remake is set to hit theaters this year — Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin.

Disney has been remaking its animated classics, having already released Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, and audiences eagerly awaiting Aladdin and Mulan.

Director of The Jungle Book, Jon Favreau, will now be taking us back to Pride Rock as he retells the story of Simba and the rest of the animals in The Lion King.

With The Circle of Life playing in the background, we are reintroduced to the young lion cub who will one day rule over all.

James Earl Jones reprises his role from the original as Mufasa, telling his son: “Everything the light touches is our kingdom. But a king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, the sun will set on my time here and will rise as you as the new king.”

Jones will be joined by an all-star cast of Donald Glover as Simba, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen as Timon and Pumbaa, Alfre Woodard as Sarabi, John Oliver as Zazu, and Beyoncé as Nala.

Get ready to be moved on the 19th of July 2019.
