Ahead of the anticipated release, Disney shared a stunning look at the new cast with their animal counterparts. Donald Glover has a stare-down with Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter comes face-to-face with Nala, and John Oliver, Seth Rogen, and Billy Eichner smile at their lovable characters, Zazu, Pumbaa, and Timon. Honestly, between the extravagant trailers and the official stills from the film, we have a good feeling this remake is going to make us just as emotional as the original.
