\"Mufasa“Everything the light touches is our kingdom.”<\/p>\n

Disney released the first full-length trailer for the upcoming Lion King remake coming out in July of this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We got to see the first shots of Scar, Timon, and Pumbaa.<\/strong> Aside from James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa<\/strong>, the film has an entirely different voice cast from the original.<\/p>\n

Taking the reins from Jeremy Irons,\u00a0Chiwetel Ejiofor<\/strong> takes on the role of Scar<\/strong>. Ejiofor gets a few lines in the trailer, and his chilling tone sent shivers down our spines. You may recognize Ejiofor from movies like “12 Years a Slave” and “Four Brothers.”<\/p>\n

Our favorite bug-eating duo also made an appearance. Voiced by Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen<\/strong>, Timon and Pumba sing their hearts out to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”<\/p>\n

Eichner was made famous by “Parks and Recreation,” and he also has a popular YouTube channel. <\/a>You probably know Rogen from his movies “Knocked Up” or “Sausage Party.”<\/p>\n

\"TimonWe have yet to hear Beyonc\u00e9 voice Nala<\/strong> or Donald Glover voice Simba<\/strong>. However, we have full confidence that Beyonc\u00e9 will have a performance that will inspire all the single ladies. Also, Glover is bound to give us a performance that is anything but childish.<\/p>\n
