Beyonce is the Lion Queen.

Disney Domination

Between the live-action remakes of classics like Dumbo, Aladdin, and The Lion King and the major franchise additions of Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Toy Story 4, and Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker, Disney is absolutely dominating the box office this year.

The Coolest Portraits

Next up on the calendar is the remake of The Lion King, and Disney released some seriously cool character portraits to get fans excited. First up, we've got the King and Queen, Donald Glover as Simba and Beyonce as Nala. Disney also offered fans a look at Chewitel Ejiofor's Scar and the gaggle of sidekicks: John Oliver as Zazu, Billy Eichner as Timon, and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa.

You Just Can't Wait To Be King?

The new takes on classic characters continued with Alfre Woodard as Sarabi; JD McCrary and Shahadi Wright Joseph as young Simba and Nala; and Keegan-Michael Key, Eric André, and Florence Kasumba as the trio of hyena troublemakers.

Will You Be Watching?

The Lion King hits theaters on July 18th. With an increasingly crowded box office demanding your time, will you be watching the latest Disney movie?

During that same conference, Swanson vowed that if one of his own children was gay and attempted to get married, he would smear himself in cow manure and wail lamentations outside the venue:

Recently, Swanson warned that God will "cut down" pop star Taylor Swift for releasing a pro-LGBTQ song, and declared that the wildfires that ravaged California last year were God's punishment on the state for its years of attempting to "legitimize the sin of homosexuality." Such comments are par for the course for Swanson, whose outrageous views we have chronicled for years:
