James Earl Jones and Donald Glover Join the Cast of The Lion King
The first casting news for the live action The Lion King have been released. First, Donald Glover will be voicing the adult Simba and the second bit of news is that James Earl Jones will be once again lending his voice to Simba’s dad, Mufasa.
James voiced the character in the original 1994 animated movie. Jon Favreau, who directed the live action The Jungle Book, will be directing this picture. When more casting news is announced we will be sure to let you know.
I love that they are bringing James Earl Jones back for this movie! I wonder if any of the other original cast members will return.
