2017 is all about Donald Glover. First came all his accolades for Atlanta, then he was cast in a Star Wars and now he’s going to be the voice of Simba in Disney’s upcoming The Lion King live-action remake—according to director Jon Favreau, who made the exiting announcement yesterday. And the voice of a generation—literally—will return to the Lion King—-James Earl Jones will return as Mufasa (he was in the 1994 movie)! YES, we love him!
