Quavo Asks Disney To Cast Migos As The 3 Hyenas In “Lion King” Remake

    Quavo seems to have caught the acting bug after appearing with Migos in Donald Glover’s hit FX series Atlanta. The rapper took to Twitter over the weekend to ask Disney to cast Migos in the upcoming remake of the 1994 animated film, The Lion King.

    Donald Glover and Beyoncé are already confirmed for the upcoming live-action movie, which is set for release July 19, 2019.

    There is, however, a slight hiccup with Quavo’s idea: the three hyenas have already been cast. Florence Kasumba, Keegan-Michael Key and Eric Andre are set to play Shenzi, Kamari and Azizi respectively (the latter two characters were named Banzai and Ed in Disney’s 1994 film).

    Nevertheless, considering the trio’s close ties to Donald Glover (and current popularity), there may be a glimmer of hope for Quavo’s dreams yet.

    Quavo is an avid film fan. During an interview with Beats 1 last month, the ATL feature-machine revealed he is currently writing a script for an upcoming Migos film.

    “I always been watching movies and watching my favorite musician do movies,” Quavo said. “They used to really do that a lot in the ’90s. I’m a ’90s baby and all my favorite movies got all my dope artists in them … JuiceMenace II Society. All the Snoop Dogg movies. Master P movies – I Got the Hook-UpBaller Blockin, the Big Tymers movie. Even Ice Cube; Cube killed it! That’s what we’re trying to do right now and we’re looking into the script.”

    1. These guys can hardly hold a conversation during interviews. Why the hell would they be considered for voice acting???

    2. These three should do a remake of the Three Amigos. But instead of going to Mexico they go into the real hood and they can play them selves fake gangstas

    3. in the name of all that is good, please…please do not give these three more access to our youth than they already have

    4. Am I the only one who would love to see a hyena that talks like Takeoff? “Doitlooklikeiwasleftoffthelionkingremake?”

    5. Migos playing the hyenas wouldn’t work because the hyenas attack and kill Scar at the end of the movie. And going by the latest video of Offset and Quavo jumping to punch that big dude and failing, and the big dude not budging and fighting back…yeeeah, not the best idea.

    6. Any rappers you see on ESPN (First Take, Lebatard show, SC, etc) are owned by Disney and are being forced down people’s throats. Ironic as it may be, Disney runs rap. That’s why rappers are just “made” famous without climbing the ranks. You wake up one day and their name is on everything. And make no mistake, they’ve sold themselves out the same way Hollywood actors have. Sexual favors and the sacrifice of their own integrity. Peace.
