Beyoncé Joins ‘The Lion King’ Cast
It’s official. Beyoncé has joined the star-studded cast of The Lion King.
The singer will voice Simba’s best friend Nala in the upcoming live-action adaptation of Disney’s animated classic, the studio announced today.
In March, Variety reported that Beyoncé was Disney’s top choice and they were willing to accommodate her busy schedule. At the time, she was pregnant with twins.

Jon Favreau (Iron Man, The Jungle Book) will direct, while Jeff Nathanson (Catch Me If You Can, Rush Hour 2) is writing.
The Lion King is set to hit theaters in summer 2019. The 1994 original grossed more than $968.5 million, making it one of the highest-grossing animated films of all time.

It would be interesting to see Beyonce in that role. All that star power they have amassed for the new Lion King is very much impressive, I still think they could have cast someone else for Scar.
