Donald Glover just earned one more thing to his acting resume.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he will be the voice for the upcoming remake of the 1994 Disney classic The Lion King. Director Jon Favreau, responsible for The Jungle Book remake, Iron Man, and Elf, will be the main hand in the live-action adaptation.
Joining the star of the Golden Globe-winning show Atlanta, will be legendary actor James Earl Jones playing Mufasa.
