Disney decently smashed it with it’s live-action remakes of Cinderella and Beauty and The Beast, and are now set to create a re-do of The Lion King.
With James Earl Jones set to return as Mufasa and Donald Glover confirmed to play the role of Simba, we have all been dying to know who will be casted for Timone and Pumbaa…
Finding out Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner are playing Pumbaa and Timone is the best news I've heard all month

That’s right, comedy stars, Seth Rogan and Billy Eichner are more than rumoured to be playing the duo in the remake. Although Billy isn’t quite as well known in the UK as Seth Rogan, both appear to be perfect for the roles.

No information on who will be voicing Scar just yet, but I’m sure he will be breaking our hearts all over again.
The Lion King remake is set to be released in 2019…
