Well don’t worry, we’ve got some positive lion news for you all – there’s going to be a new Lion King sequel.

There’s going to be a few voiceover actors from the original, including James Earl Jones, which means we’ll see some flashback scenes with Mufasa. As well as Jones, Ernie Sabella is returning to play everyone’s favourite warthog, Pumbaa.
