When I first heard that I was like... why? The "live" action Lion King got dogshit reviews and continuoisly clowned on.
Then I found out it made 1.5 billion on a ~250 million budget and understood.
Fuck the mouse tho
One important note about the mouse shitting out live action remakes, they want to hold the copyright for as long as possible.
They don't care if Aladdin with Will Smith only makes a 10% return (Hollywood accounting), because they've renewed their claim on the IP and merchandising the blue corpse of Robin Williams Genie far exceeds any film profits. They make more than $5 billion per year just on licensing fees.

Disney is the single largest grossing ip licenser, at $61.7B in 2023.. This, from a company that grossed $89B total.
Nothing they sell is original anymore. Its all regurgitated slop.
