Jon Favreau directs this remake of the 1994 Disney animation featuring the voice talents of Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Beyoncé. After the death of his father Mufasa (James Earl Jones) young lion cub Simba (Glover/JD McCrary) is destined to become King of the Pride Lands, but is instead forced into exile by his evil and greedy uncle Scar (Ejiofor), who tricks Simba into taking responsibility for his father's death and claims the throne for himself. Away from his family, Simba befriends meerkat Timon (Billy Eichner) and warthog Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and begins living a carefree life until his best friend Nala (Beyoncé/Shahadi Wright Joseph) convinces him to return home and take his rightful place as ruler of the Pride Lands.
