Of the 14 main characters, just five - Mufasa (James Earl Jones), Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), Rafiki (Robert Guillaume), Sarabi (Madge Sinclair) and the young Nala (Niketa Calame) were of African descent, a casting decision that surely would have raised eyebrows at the time of the original Il Re Leone (1994). Indeed, virtually all of the main roles, including Scar (Jeremy Irons), Nala (Moira Kelly) and both the young and old Simbas (Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Matthew Broderick) were all Caucasian. All four roles have been supplanted with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Beyoncé, JD McCrary and Donald Glover, respectively. Only three roles that started with Caucasian actors have remained so, with Rowan Atkinson, Ernie Sabella and Nathan Lane passing the roles of Zazu, Pumbaa and Timon to John Oliver, Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner. While Cheech Marin and Jim Cummings' roles of hyenas Banzai and Ed have been renamed Kamari (Keegan-Michael Key) and Azizi (Eric Andre), they are considered direct substitutions.
