Stars line up for Lion King

TWELVE Years A Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor is being lined up to voice Scar in Disney’s live-action remake of The Lion King.

The Oscar-nominated actor, 40, will join Donald Glover, Seth Rogen and John Oliver in director Jon Favreau’s adaptation.

In the 1994 original, Scar was voiced by Jeremy Irons. Rogen will play Pumba, while Brit comic Oliver will take on the role of highly strung bird Zazu.

James Earl Jones will once again be Mufasa.
