“Everything the light touches is our kingdom, says Mufusa reprised by James Earl Jones. 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 with you as the new king,” he said as the iconic “Circle of Life” song by Carmen Twillie and Lebo M. begins to play.
In addition to Jones, the star-studded cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyonce as Nala, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Alfre Woodard as Simba’s mother Sarabi, John Oliver as Zazu, John Kani as Rafiki, Florence Kasumba as Shenzi, Eric André as Azizi, and Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen as Timon and Pumbaa. JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph will play young Simba and young Nala, respectively.
“The Lion King” is set to hit theaters on July 19, 2019.
