Back in September of last year, Disney announced that it was joining forces with director Jon Favreau for a remake of the classic hit The Lion King. Yesterday, Favreau made some further announcements on the movie via his Twitter page. He announced Donald Glover or Childish Gambino shall play Simba in the Disney remake of the classic while James Earl Jones returns as Mufasa.
