Will the remake be realistic?

Hello.
I don't know if you watched the remake of "The Jungle Book" that came out in 2016; if not, you should know that the creators made some changes in the characters to make the story more realistic, for example:
- Baloo the bear (one of the protagonists) walked on two legs in the animated movies, but in the new one he walks on all four, because bears become exclusive bipeds only if their front paws are injured.
- King Louie the ape (one of the secondary antagonists) was an orangutan in the animated version, but in the new one he is a Gigantopithecus, a giant prehistoric ape that went extinct during the ice age, because it, unlike the orangutan, lived in India (where "The Jungle Book" takes place).
My question is: are the creators of the remake of "The Lion King" going to do the same, in your opinion?
For example, Pumbaa is red in the animated movies, but in real warthogs are grey, with sparse and black/brown fur.
And Timon is a bipedal meerkat in the animated movies. Meerkats can only stand on two legs, not walk on them, and they only live in South Africa, that is far away from the Serengeti (where "The Lion King" takes place, if I'm not mistaken).
Do you think it is more likely that Pumbaa's colour (same with Mufasa and Simba's manes and Scar's fur) and Timon's species/locomotion will be changed or not?
