Glover recently won a Golden Globe for his performance in "Atlanta," a series he writes and produces.
But that's not all. We also know who will play Mufasa: the one and only James Earl Jones.
Jones, as you might remember, voiced Mufasa in the 1994 original.
Looking forward to working with this legend. #Mufasa pic.twitter.com/1LszbWrcYT
