Looks like Beyonce is going from queen of the world to queen of the jungle!

 

Jon Favreau, director of the upcoming Lion King remake wants Beyonce to voice Nala and according to Variety, reports suggest that Beyonce has been approached about the role of Nala, but has not decided whether or not she’ll take it.

 

If Beyonce does in fact say yes to the role, she’d play the lover of Donald Glover who will be the voice of Simba.  Legendary James Earl Jones will reprise his role as Mufasa, Simba’s dad and Jeff Nathanson is writing the remake.

 

Unfortunately, The Lion King will NOT be live-action but it’ll be very similar to The Jungle Book.

 

Let’s hope Beyonce voices Nala! Beyonce has not had a movie role since 2009.
