Who is your dream-cast?

I would think it would be interesting to see Jonathan Taylor Thomas play the adult Simba since he recently turned 35 years old, too bad that he doesn't have a young song the could play young play Young Simba but who knows if they will stick to more African-Americans actors like I believe that they pretty much have done on the stage musical. Even through I know that Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, Rowan Atkinson, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas I know that they are not African-American actors or even black.

John Boyega or Luke Youngblood or Jonathan Taylor Thomas: Adult Simba

Idris Elba or Jason Momoa: Mufasa (if James Earl Jones decides or not)

Benedict Cumberbatch: SCAR!!

Lupita N'yongo: Adult Nala

Bill Nighy or Hugh Laurie: Zazu

Chadwick Boseman or Tituss Burgess: Rafiki

Angela Bassett or Viola Davis: Sarabi

I don't think no one could top Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella as Timon and Pumbaa unless they could consider notable Producers leads replacements.

Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin and Jim Cummings back as the hyenas (unless Richard Ayoade as Banzai, Margot Robbie or Jaime Pressly as Shenzi )

I'm gonna be really boring and hope that some of the original cast reprise their roles. I can't imagine anyone else other than James Earl Jones voicing Mufasa or Jeremy Irons voicing Scar. I'd be happy if both of them came back. Same with Timone and Pumba!

Mel Gibson as Adult Simba
Liam Neeson as Mufasa
Benedict Cumberbatch or Jason Isaacs as Scar
Billy Crystal as Timon
John Leguizamo as Banzai
Johnny Depp as Zazu

Ralph Fiennes as Scar.

Mufasa: James Earl Jones (he reprised Vader and enjoyed working on TLK, I see him coming back)
Sarabi: Viola Davis
Rafiki: Robert Guillarme or Morgan Freeman
Zazu: Rowan Atkinson (If not, John Cleese)

Adult Simba: Chadwick Boseman or Idris Elba
Adult Nala: Lupita N'ongyo or Jada Pinkett Smith
Young Simba: Finn Wolfhard
Young Nala: Millie Bobbi Brown

Timon: Nathan Lane (If not, Simon Pegg or Billy Crystal)
Pumbaa: Ernie Sabella (If not, Nick Frost or Eric Stonestreet)

Scar: Jeremy Irons (If he says no, then Donald Sutherland or Kevin Spacey)
Shenzi: Whoopi Goldberg (If not, Jada Pinkett Smith or Jane Lynch)
Banzai: Cheech Marin (If not, Jason Bateman)
Ed: Tommy Chong as originally planned (If not, Charlie Day)

Though some of them may not sing, they could have voice over work done if necessary.

Willem Dafoe as Scar
Will Ferrell as Timon

I know people have suggested this but it would also be cool if Liam Neeson was Mufasa and Ralph Fiennes was Scar since they've acted together in films such as Schindler's List.
