Actor/Director Jon Favreau (who successfully helmed the live action Jungle Book movie) has signed on to direct this new Lion King movie! Favreau also directed Iron Man and Iron Man 2 with a lot of success! Disney is in the process of updating a lot of the animated classics to live action. Beauty and the Beast is out later this year and others are in the works!

 

Disney and Favreau are also developing a sequel to “The Jungle Book.” No release date has been set for either “The Lion King” or “The Jungle Book 2.”
