Hollywood Stars James Earl Jones, Beyoncé & Keegan-Michael Key Cast in 'The Lion King' Remake11/8/2017 The cast for Disney's live action remake of "The Lion King" will reportedly feature several celebrities who have Christian roots. One of those actors is James Earl Jones who starred in the original animated film in 1994. Just like he did in 1994, Disney has announced that Oscar-nominated Jones will be playing the role of Mufasa in the 2019 Jon Favreau-directed remake.
The singer and actress who is known by the mononym Beyoncé has been tapped to play the role of Nala in the Disney remake. The 36-year-old Grammy award-winning singer began her career in St. John's United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas, and returned there in September to aid Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in the city. Keegan-Michael Key is best known for his comedic stylings on sketch comedy shows "Key and Peele" and "MADTV." More than a comedian, 46-year-old Key is a Christian who is also starring in the animated nativity story "The Star" that will be released this month. Disney has announced that Key will also star in "The Lion King" as Kamari. In a previous interview with Chicago Now, Keegan revealed that he was adopted and found his biological mother at age 25, which led to him building a relationship with God. |
