Talk:The Lion King (live-action film)/@comment-24655039-20170219094753

I'm thinking 2019 since they're casting now and 2019 has a need for a few more film announcements. That's also the 25th anniversary of Lion King... I'd cast Lupita Nyong'o as Nala and Leslie Jones as one of the Hyenas. Not sure on the rest. Timon and Pumbaa, Zazu, Rafiki... I think Idris Elba would work as Scar but that's like having him play Shere Khan all over again!
