The Lion King trailer has everyone in their feels over little Simbas return to the Circle of Life.
But what if Disneys adorable cub had more than Scar to worry about? A very creative Marvel fan has made a mash-up of an iconic Lion King scene with Thanos from Avengers: Infinity War, and its utterly terrifying.
Twitter user Boss Logic put his Photoshop skills to work to mock-up a reimagining of the classic moment in which Simba is lifted in the air by Mufasa at the precipice of Pride Rock.
Only in this version, the cub is pushed over the edge by Thanos, whose burly figure is seen standing on the cliffs edge.
Hopefully not a child-friendly version that would make it to cinemas.

Almost immediately, the frightful reimagining spawned several other equally brilliant memes in Boss Logics Twitter comments.
One sees Black Panther charging towards Pride Rocks edge to fly-kick Thanos into oblivion, while another hilarious mockup includes Deadpool coming to save the day, revving towards the Mad Titan on his motorcycle.
Theyve got Simbas back.
Perhaps turning the tables, one other creative Photoshop whizz edited Thanos Infinity Gauntlet onto Simbas little paw with the caption: Snap!
Simba as Thanos? Now theres a blockbuster hit.
Disney fans are overwhelmed with excitement at the trailer release, with many reliving their childhood through the live-action remake.
The teaser clip opens with scenic shots of the pride while James Earl Jones narrates as his character Mufasa: Everything the light touches is our kingdom. But a kings time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king.
