The New Lion King Posters Show Actors Facing Off Their Characters And It Looks Badass

ADVERTISEMENT

25 years after its initial release, The Lion King movie still remains the highest-earning G-rated movie of all time. However, following the success of The Jungle Book movie remake, Disney has taken on a challenge to reboot the all-time classic too. Will the new photorealistic computer-animated Disney movie beat the traditionally animated one? Only time will tell. But there’s not much time left to find out since the Lion King remake premiere is just around the corner.

The new version of Disney movie classic directed by Jon Favreau will hit theaters on the 19th of July. Just in time for that, Disney released striking photos of the famous actors who did voice acting in this movie posing face-to-face with their characters.

Do you already know who will voice your favorite characters in The Lion King remake?

50 days before the release of The Lion King movie, Disney shared posters introducing the main characters and the voices behind them. People were surprised to know that American actor, comedian, and performer Donald Glover will star as the main character Simba. The Beyhive started buzzing after it was announced that Nala will be voiced by famous singer Beyoncé.

Beyoncé shouldn’t have been cast in this movie, or any movie really. She’s known for her hostility towards animals and people who defend animals. She’s known for her use of fur. I’m not heavy into Lion King but that’s a hard pass.

Alfre Woodard looks like she's about to pet that good kitty.
