Which actor voices Makunga in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa?

Alec Baldwin voices Makunga in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.

Makunga is a rival lion who seeks control of the pride led by Zuba. His ambition creates a political threat within the pride and places him in opposition to Alex’s family.

Baldwin’s performance gives Makunga a confident, commanding voice that contrasts with Alex’s more theatrical personality. Baldwin is part of the film’s ensemble cast alongside Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Makunga should not be confused with Zuba, Alex’s father, or Vitaly, the Siberian tiger introduced in the third film. The names belong to different films and different animal characters in the franchise.
