Entertainer Donald Glover continues to soar.

Glover has landed the role of Simba in the live action remake of The Lion King.

Jon Favreau will direct the film, and legendary James Earl Jones will reprise his role as Mufasa.

Just like Favreau’s remake of The Jungle Book, The Lion King will use CGI technology and green screen to transform the beloved 1994 animated movie into a live-action movie.
