wow perfect casting so far. I never wanted this remade but they got the right people for it.

I wonder if any of the other original voices will return along with James Earl Jones.
Jeremy Irons as Scar was a great choice back in 1994.

I prefer Jeremy Irons as Scar.

Love Disney, but really don't see the point of them doing these live action reimaginings...

Like Jafar being a giant bird in the live action Aladdin rather than the awesome giant cobra...
