Feel The Love In The Latest TV Spot For Disney’s The Lion King

Prepare to feel all emotional… Walt Disney Studios has dropped a brand new TV spot for the live-action remake of The Lion King and it is EVERYTHING! Check out the brand new footage below.

Of course, for many, this is not the first time they have heard of THE LION KING after such success on stage and in animation, but the live-action movie is set to give us a whole different experience and it already feels magical.

Lions rule the African savanna in The Lion King, which welcomes Donald Glover (Atlanta, Solo: A Star Wars Story) as future king Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter (Dreamgirls, “Lemonade” visual album) as Simba’s friend-turned-love interest Nala, and James Earl Jones (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Field of Dreams) as Simba’s wise and loving father, Mufasa, reprising his iconic performance from Disney’s 1994 animated classic. 

The utterly brilliant Chiwetel Ejiofor (Twelve Years a Slave, Doctor Strange) will be playing the villainous role of Simba’s uncle Scar, and Alfre Woodard (Juanita, Marvel’s Luke Cage) portrays Simba’s no-nonsense mother, Sarabi. JD McCrary (Tyler Perry’s The Paynes, Vital Signs) plays Young Simba and Shahadi Wright Joseph (Hairspray Live, Broadway’s “The Lion King”) brings Young Nala to life on the big screen.

John Kani (Coriolanus, Captain America: Civil War) takes on the role of baboon Rafiki, and John Oliver (Last WeekTonight with John Oliver, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) is hornbill Zazu, Mufasa’s loyal confidant.

Brining in the love and humour to the movie is Seth Rogen (Sausage Party, Neighbours) playing the adorable warthog Pumbaa, and Billy Eichner (Billy on the Street, American Horror Story) joins the cast as know-it-all meerkat Timon.

What makes us even more excited about the movie, is the talent calling the shots off camera. In the director’s chair for this one is Jon Favreau, already known for his super work on THE JUNGLE BOOK. 

The full trailer alone has already shown us that Disney have already created a live-action masterpiece that will definitely be bringing the goosebumps and tears. If you haven’t yet seen the trailer, then what are you waiting for?! Check it out in the video player below!
