Live Action Lion King by Iron Man director

Iron Man director Jon Favreau announced today that he'll be working on a reimagining of the Disney classic The Lion King.

The actor & filmmaker recently showed off his cartoon-to-CG masterpiece skills when he directed 2016's 'The Jungle Book', & hopes to carry these skills onto his next big project, The Lion King. This was confirmed in a Facebook post Favreau made earlier today:

Are you exciting for a high def reimaginaing of a Disney classic? Do you feel Favreau can top his Jungle Book adaptation? Or do you think that the Lion King should be laid to rest & that such mastery should not be messed with? Sound off in the comments section below or contact us on Twitter at @NerdGeekAwesome
