The casting of the The Lion King remake has been all-star so far—Donald Glover will voice Simba, James Earl Jones will reprise role as Mufasa, and so on. Meanwhile, the voice actor of Nala is still unknown and rumors say that it might be Beyoncé.
Director Jon Favreau expressed before that he really wants Bey to voice the lioness. Apparently, even Disney is set on making this happen. “[Since] it’s a voice-acting role, sources say the studio and director will do whatever it takes to accommodate her schedule,” Variety reported.
While it’s not officially confirmed yet, the odds are still high. Movie Pilot noted that “Beyoncé is nearing a final deal to produce the soundtrack and voice the lioness.” Once she’s confirmed, the soundtrack might contain new songs from the singer apart from the classic tracks.
Just imagine: Beyoncé, the queen of Pride Rock. It’s got a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
