Disney has released new images from upcoming remake The Lion King with Scar and Pride Rock.
Jon Favreau's photo-realistic adaptation of the Disney classic hits cinemas in July, but the new stills give us a look at the stunning visuals.
We've already had a look thanks to the trailer, which also treated us to a listen of the iconic music, but the new photos have us more than ready for the remake.
The images were released by EW as part of its new cover story for The Lion King.
As well as a look at Simba and Scar there were stills of Timon and Pumbaa, Nala, Zazu, Rafiki and Mufasa.
We don't know about you, but the images look great as do the characters.
Of course it helps that behind the CGI is an all-star cast that's attached to the characters. Donald Glover, Beyonce, Seth Rogan, Billy Eichner, John Oliver, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and James Earl Jones
Take a look at the new photos below.
Speaking to EW about the film, Favreau said: "How do you take advantage of all the new technological breakthroughs but still maintain the soul and the spirit of the original Lion King ?”
“I think this film is a culmination of all the live-action adaptations that Disney has done of their animated classics."
He added: I thought that this technology would be separate enough from the animated film that it felt fresh and new, yet completely related to the original. And by the time Jungle Book was done, we had a lot of facility with this technology, so you’re hitting that part of your stride where you’re saying, ‘Now, what can I really do with this?’”
The Lion King is released July 18, 2019.
