The first trailer for the live-action retelling of "The Lion King" has been released.
The movie, which will hit theaters next summer, boasts an ensemble voice cast that includes Beyonce, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Seth Rogan.
Glover plays Simba, Beyonce plays his love interest Nala and Ejiofor plays Simba’s uncle, Scar.
