‘The Lion King’ charges into theaters on July 19th and is fast shaping to be one of the biggest movies in recent years.
Beyond being one of Disney‘s most successful franchises, the live-action incarnation of the flick is especially anticipated thanks to the starring roles of Beyonce and Donald Glover, who play Nala and Simba respectively.
With the release date fast approaching, Queen Bey has signalled her excitement by sharing a promo snap of her face to face with her counterpart. Check out the pic above.
The 23-time Grammy winner is confirmed to play an integral role in both the film and its music, with director Jon Favreau confirming she has recorded an original song too.
A refresher on his words below…
In an interview with Fandango, Favreau said of the new material the Bey created:
“It doesn’t replace anything. We have all the original songs, but there’s a song that [Beyonce] performed and wrote in the spirit of the production along with working with Lebo M., who’s part of it with Hans Zimmer. They were all collaborating with her and helping to bring this new piece of music into a film where there’s already a very established musical personality to the piece. So it was nice of them to have them working with her to allow the new song to feel organically a part of the new production.”
And while folks will have to wait a few weeks for the film, ‘The Lion King’ soundtrack arrives on July 11th. Translation? New Beyonce is around the corner!
Her-urricane Beyonce is coming!
….to flop lmfaoooooooooo
Lol you wish Beyonce lover..let’s see what excuse you come up with when this does wonderful box office numbers
It’s her and her character. How is this striking?
Beyoncé always gets an original song in remakes/already established films lol. I’m interested to hear it…
Nala didn’t even have big role
Which is where the surprises come in. They allegedly expanded her role.
Hope she got some acting lessons.
Meh. Same hair, same makeup.
Her beauty is over rated.
She is a boring woman with zero personality. The role of nala should have gone to someone with a fun interesting personality like adele or even Rihanna. Rihanna has a sultry speaking voice full of personality.
They used her name to sell movie lol
Um no, this movie would sell without her name. She’s just bandwagon hopping.
Lol I agree Rihanna could’ve played the Warhog lmao ?
Lol rihSCEDULED fans get more delusional everyday… If a skunk could talk it would sound like Rihsceduled speaking voice
Beys speaking voice is sultry husky and dynamic it’s one of a kind. And similar enough to the original Nala voice actor Moira Kelly.
Rihsceduled would better suit Nala as a child, I’m interested in hearing simba and nalas child voice in this remake also
Stop please. Beyonce sounds just as illiterate talking as you do on your posts.
And beauty wise the twins WRECKED And did major damage to bey physically… But pre 2017 bey looked way better than rihscedule.
And Beys prime 03-08 beauty completely annihilates rihs looks whom isnt even naturally beautiful like bey
lmaoooooo keep dreaming fatso, roach looks just as basic as your fat ass’s. And don’t bring Queen Riri into this she’s made MILLIONS off of her natural fenty beauty, and she can buy and sell that basic looking roach you stan and make her ass work in the adidas fitting room, so stop with your pork dreams piggy lmfaooooo ? ?? ?
Net’s voice is s***. Almost gangster. Rhirhi’s voice sounds retarded. They got the right gal.
All I know is that ths original rise up song in that animated Epic movie was Incredible. Hopefully this will be just as epic
lmaooo it won’t, roach and her weak ass bug vocals can’t even sell 15k albums, this sh!t will flop just as hard as apeFLOP did and you know it lmfaooooo ????
Oooooooh ok so that’ll be your excuse to hate when this movie does wonders at box office, you’ll cling to a doing from the soundtrack not going platinum. You’re pathetic you Bey loving lunatic
lmaoooo this movie was ALREADY gonna do big numbers even without the flopped 14k roach but go off dummy lmfaooooo ? ?? ?
That apart of her upcoming video for the lion king
lmaooo a beautiful majestic lion, and a tired basic looking flopped roach, hmmm must be the lion that’s striking lmfaooooo??????♂️
I’m BEYOND ready for this movie!!! I hope the “be prepared” scene is just as iconic! https://youtu.be/oMp58oVociw
