Alongside Beyoncé and Glover, The Lion King remake cast features Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon, while original cast member James Earl Jones reprises his role as Mufasa.

Director Jon Favreau previously teased that the new adaption would tell the classic story in a “different way” to the original film.

He explained: “The original holds up incredibly well, so the challenge here was to tell a story in a different way but still deliver on people’s expectations while surprising them somehow.”
