The trailer shows Simba grow from a lonely cub to the ruler of the animal kingdom, while he makes friends with a cast of characters along the way. Donald Glover plays Simba, Billy Eichner plays Timon, Seth Rogan plays Pumbaa and Beyonce plays Nala.

Walt Disney Studios dropped a new official trailer for Jon Favreau’s highly anticipated “live-action” reimagining of The Lion King, in theaters July 19. The spot offers nearly two minutes of footage which shows the breadth and diversity of CGI-rendered creatures populating an awe-inspiring savanna land, from the open plains to the rocky shadows where danger lurks. Favreau, who delivered the blockbuster Jungle Book revamp, has tapped MPC to handle the VFX and animation for this technological pioneer film.

Jones voiced Simba's father in the 1994 animated film, which was one of the highest-grossing films of all time. The classic Disney movie featured music composed by Elton John and Hans Zimmer.
