Lion King Casting News!

New casting news for The Lion King "live-action" film: Alfre Woodard will voice Sarabi, Simba's mom, and John Kani will voice Rafiki. I'm a fan of Alfre Woodard -- she was fantastic in Luke Cage -- but I'm less familiar with John Kani. Although IMDB tells me they were both in Captain America: Civil War and it seems like Kani is involved with Black Panther, so Yay! Marvel?

Still no word on the voice of Scar, though!
