Joining what is shaping up to be a cast of perfection rivaling the live-action Beauty & the Beast is John Oliver. In an exclusive with The Wrap the host of Late Night With John Oliver will be taking on the role of the red-tailed hornbill that serves as advisor to the king. He joins already confirmed Donald Glover (Simba), James Earl Jones (Mufasa), & Seth Rogen & Billy Eichner (Pumbaa & Timon) with director John Favreau. This is awesome news to me. I love this guy. No one can do the Daily Show better than John Stewart, but John Oliver was pretty darn impressive when he took over. His own show now continues to be entertaining. I can't think of a better fit for this part, & this movie is shaping up to sound really good so far. What do y'all think about this casting so far? put it in the comments, like, & share.
