It was announced recently that its live-action makeover will cast new members and it is expected to be a very amazing film.

According to the movie director Jon Favreau, there will be a returning character on this upcoming remake and everyone is pretty excited about it. He also revealed on his Twitter post that one of the legendary stars are about to join the official casts which is identified as James Earl Jones. He is going to reprise the role of Mufasa which he originally played in the 1994 animated movie. Jone's voice is definitely suitable with the character and apparently, "The Lion King" wouldn't be complete without him, Glamour reported.
Another character that has been known with the film is Simba. This role will be played by Donald Glover, who is a community star and rapper at the same time. He is going to portray the most favorite lion-cub turned lion king. Apparently, Favreau also had directed films like "The Jungle Book" which grossed almost $1 billion.
