The rap trio Migos wants to put its stamp on the highly-anticipated remake of “The Lion King.”
On Sunday, Migos member Quavo posted his plea for the trio to make their Hollywood debut in the upcoming live-action remake, which already has an all-star cast including Beyoncé, Donald Glover, Alfree Woodard and Keegan-Michael Key.

“Call us,” Quavo tweeted to Disney about the group playing the three hyenas.
One problem, though. Key, comedian Eric Andre and actress Florence Kasumba have already been cast as hyenas in the new film, slated to premiere July 19, 2019.
The group’s fans were on board.
Twitter users offered numerous examples of how the group’s signature phraseology would fit right into the “Lion King” script.
As with many social media campaigns, Migos didn’t quite have everyone on board for the possibility of the group members playing the hyenas, partially because the parts were already cast to begin with.
