Beyonce frontrunner to voice Nala in Disney’s The Lion King

April 1, 2017 by Gary Collinson

According to Variety, Beyonce has emerged as the frontrunner to voice the character of Nala in Disney’s upcoming remake of The Lion King.

Apparently the Grammy-winner is yet to make a decision about whether to join the project due to her pregnancy, although the studio and director Jon Favreau are reportedly very keen for her to take on the role, and are willing to work around her schedule in order to secure her participation.

The remake of the 1994 animated classic is being fast-tracked into production by Disney, and will see Donald Glover lending his voice to Simba, while James Earl Jones will once again voice Simba’s father Mufasa.

Beyonce’s last credit was voice work on 2013’s Epic, while her other screen credits include Austin Powers in Goldmember, Dreamgirls and Obsessed.
