QuoteThe pride's all here!
Alfre Woodard is the latest to join Jon Favreau's Lion King, voicing Sarabi, Simba's mom. Woodard joins Donald Glover as Simba and James Earl Jones, who will be reprising his role as Mufasa. Madge Sinclair voiced Sarabi in the original 1994 Disney animation.
Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner and John Oliver will also voice parts in the feature, which recently added Chiwetel Ejiofor to its roster to play the villain, Scar.
Jeff Nathanson (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) wrote the script for Disney, with Favreau and Jeffrey Silver producing. Lion King is currently shooting in Los Angeles.
Woodard was most recently seen in the Sundance stand-out Burning Sands and Netflix's Marvel series Luke Cage. Up next for the Oscar nominee is the indie Saint Judy, where she stars opposite Common and Michelle Monaghan, and Clark Johnson's Juanita, where she plays the title role.
She is repped by ICM, Circle of Confusion and Gochman.

QuoteChiwetel Ejiofor, who was nominated for an Oscar for his leading role in 12 Years a Slave, is in talks to voice the character of Scar, the traitorous villain in Disney?s live-action reimagining of its classic, The Lion King, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Jon Favreau, who directed the live-action remake of The Jungle Book, is also sitting behind the camera for Lion King, which already boasts a stellar voice cast of Donald Glover as Simba, the young lion who would be king, and James Earl Jones as his father, Mufasa (Jones also voiced the character in the 1994 original).
Also lending their pipes to the pride are Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner and John Oliver.
Jeremy Irons voiced Scar, who betrays his brother Mufasa in order to steal the animal kingdom?s crown, in the animated version.
The new movie is currently shooting in Los Angeles.
Ejiofor was last seen onscreen playing the troubled sorcerer Mordo in Marvel?s Doctor Strange.
