Be prepared: Chiwetel Ejiofor might play Scar in the Lion King reboot
Jon Favreau’s live-action/CGI reboot of The Lion King continues to accrue a big-name Hollywood cast, with The Wrap reporting today that Chiwetel Ejiofor is in talks to voice the evil Scar. If talks go forward, he’d be filling the shoes of Jeremy Irons, who played the role with velvety menace in the 1994 original.
