Beyoncé joins the cast as Nala alongside Donald Glover as Simba, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.
Based on the original 1994 Disney animation, the live-action remake will also see the return of original cast member James Earl Jones as Mufasa.
"James Earl Jones would do a take and then ask me for direction, and I honestly couldn't give an answer," director Jon Favreau previously told Entertainment Weekly.

"I was like, 'You're Mufasa!' Everything he said sounded perfect because it was him saying it. He could have just as easily said no. His voice could have sounded different. There's a lot of ways this could not have worked out.
"And that all of the stars aligned and there I was listening to him record... I felt something very powerful happening."
The director has also shared that the story of the remake will be told in a "different way" to the classic film, explaining: "The original holds up incredibly well, so the challenge here was to tell a story in a different way but still deliver on people's expectations while surprising them somehow."
The Lion King will open in cinemas on July 19.
