Release Date: July 19

There are few movies that will be able to potentially top Avengers: Infinity War's $2+ billion box office haul, but Disney's live-action The Lion King remake could certainly land within spitting distance of it.

The gorgeous-looking retelling boasts an all-star voice cast including Donald Glover, Beyonce, James Earl Jones, Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen and Keegan-Michael Key.

In addition, two Oscar-nominated MCU actors are also set to lend their talents: Alfre Woodard - who played both Mariah Stokes in Luke Cage and a bereaved mother in Captain America: Civil War - and Doctor Strange's Chiwetel Ejiofor will voice Mufasa's mate Sarabi and the villainous Scar respectively.

That's some hefty talent for two of the most important roles in the movie. Nothing stops this hype train.
