While Donald Glover joining The Lion King was a big deal, there may be no bigger deal in all of entertainment than Beyonce.
She’s still one of the most popular humans walking the earth, and she’ll be joining The Lion King as Nala, Simba’s childhood friend and eventual romantic partner.
Nala’s role isn’t a massive one in the animated original, so expect that size of the part to be increased here.
There’s also a pretty good chance that we’ll get to hear Beyonce sing, as one track on the recently announced soundtrack is being hidden, and that song might very well be a new Beyonce track.
