‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ easily serves as one of the year’s most eagerly awaited releases – and understandably so.

Directed by Oscar-winner Barry Jenkins, the Disney live-action prequel promises to add a compelling new chapter to the much-loved franchise.

Led by Aaron Pierre in the titular role and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka (Scar), the blockbuster also stars Beyonce (who returns as Nala) and her daughter Blue Ivy Carter who takes on the crown of Kiara.

During a recent sit-down, Queen Bey praised the 12-year-old’s dedication and diligence in mastering the role.

And it’s a sentiment Jenkins echoed in earnest.

Sitting down with That Grape Juice‘s Maya Egbo, the director said:

“Her performance in the film is amazing! I was really moved by how prepared she was, how seriously she took the part – which she earned, by the way. I hope when people see the film that they see that this is a person acting, the same way Aaron Pierre is. There’s something really moving in that.”
