This is a bad idea IMO. Disney is gonna cash grab on remaking all of these old, beloved cartoons as live action now, and that sucks.
One reason The Jungle Book worked so well was because there was a human boy in it. So contrasting a live, actual actor with the cartoonish sets and CGI characters is cool, looks cool, and works.
Making The Lion King just because seems like a pretty stupid idea. There won't be much different except that instead of cartoon animals you'll be looking at a different type of cartoon animals (CGI).
Horrible idea.
But I will prolly see it since TLK is one of my GOATs.

But yeah I don't get a live action Lion King at all. It just sounds awkward.

I wouldn't go live action with any of the animal movies. Imagine Lady and the Tramp, that would be ruined by Live action. I think Lion King would be too. The play is cool, but that's as far as it could go. There are dozens of other disney cartoons that could go live action.

The live action versions of The Jungle Book and Cinderella paid homage to the animated films they were based on. However, Maleficent and Pete's Dragon had little in common with the original versions. Maleficent was a steaming pile of crap. You don't take one of Disney's greatest and most evil villains and suddenly rewrite the story with her as the hero.
