Just when we thought the prize for "Most Suited" role went to Emma Watson as Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Disney have dropped the bombshell that ACTUAL BEYONCE could be playing sassy lioness Nala in the Lion King live-action remake.
Yep. The Lion King is actually happening and director Jon Favreau (the genius behind The Jungle Book remake) is apparently eying up Beyonce to voice Nala. Go big or go home we say.
We mean, if we could choose anyone on this earth to voice Nala – it would probably be Beyonce. Not going to lie. It's written in the stars.
Film insiders have told Variety that no casting decisions have been made yet, but producers are willing to 'do whatever it takes' to get Bey on board.
Let's not forget that Beyoncé is currently pregnant with twins and the health of her two beybies are her top priority. Of course.
As it stands, Donald Glover will voice Simba and James Earl Jones will reprise his role as Mufasa.
Beyonce and Donald singing Can You Feel The Love Tonight? We are trembling at the mere thought.
Oh, we just can't waaaaaaait...for this film.
