American singer-songwriter, Beyoncé took to her Facebook page to inform her fans that she has joined ‘The Lion
King’ crew . In the post it was revealed that, Beyonce, Chiwetel Ejiofor and other stars has made it to ‘The Lion King’ cast. We now know everyone who has been cast for the upcoming live action remake of Disney’s classic animation, The Lion King.
Beyoncé will be playing lead character, Nala while award-winning Donald Glover will play Simba. Nigerian-born actor, Chiwetel Ejiofor will play the villain, Scar and James Earl Jones will again play Mufasa.
Director, Jon Favreau said in a statement, “It is a director’s dream to assemble a talented team like this to bring this classic story to life.”
It would be interesting to see Beyonce in that role. All that star power they have amassed for the new Lion King is very much impressive, I still think they could have cast someone else for Scar.
