On the same day the live-action Lion King gets a release date, rumors start flying for the film's supporting cast.
With Donald Glover and James Earles Jones already confirmed as Simba and Mufasa, it's now believed Billy Eichner and Seth Rogan could be taking on the roles of Timon and Pumbaa respectively.
Eichner and Rogan are both comedians, which would allow fellow funnyman Donald Glover to play off of during Simba's younger years in the film.
Rogan, who would be voicing the gassy, oblivious warthog has already voiced animated characters before for movies like Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens and Sausage Party.
The new version of The Lion King is due in theaters July 19, 2018.
