The upcoming remake of The Lion King has a jungle full of stars in it, and we all got a sneak peak courtesy of Seth Rogen’s Twitter. The actor, who will be playing the voice of Pumbaa, posted a studio photo with the caption, “Hakuna Matata.”

Pictured alongside Rogen is Donald Glover, voice of Simba; Jon Favreau, the director of the film; and Billy Eichner, voice of Timon.
While the film is billed as “live-action,” it will be mostly CGI, like Favreau’s reimagining of 2016’s The Jungle Book.
Other cast mates who weren’t there for Rogen’s photo include Beyonce as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Alfre Woodard as Sarabi (Simba’s mother), John Oliver as Zazu (the hornbill), John Kani as Rafiki (the monkey), Eric Andre as Azizi (hyena), Florence Kasumba as Shenzi (hyena), and Keegan-Michael Key as Kamari (hyena).
The movie is due in theaters on July 19.
