Disney's Live-Action "Lion King" May Be About To Find It's Villainous Scar
Jon Favreau's directing Disney's upcoming remake of the animated classic Lion King, & we already know Donald Glover (Simba), James Earl Jones (Mufasa), John Oliver (Zazu), Seth Rogen (Pumbaa), & Billy Eichner (Timon) are already on board for the July 19, 2019 release. The question on everyone's mind however is, who will voice Scar? Now, according to a The Wrap exclusive, Chiwetel Ejiofor is in talks to play the role made infamous by Jeremy Irons. This guy just does bad so good too. Though I had seen him in some things before, he really popped up on my radar as someone to watch when I saw him in Serenity. That's why when I heard that not only would they be using him for Baron Mordo in Doctor Strange, but that it was going to be a slow build with him turning, I was totally on board. At first when I heard they were bringing back James Earl Jones, I remember thinking they had to bring back Jeremy Irons. However, if these talks go through, forget I ever thought that. This would be an awesome Scar. He has that coldness & calm intensity about himMake this happen. What do y'all think? Can y'all throw me someone better if not? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
