Updates on the film Mufasa: The Lion King
Aaron Pierre will play the lead role alongside Beyonce, voicing Queen Nala, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka, a.k.a. Scar. The previous film, The Lion King, was slightly inspired by Beyonce’s visual album Black is King.
The Texas Hold Em singer’s deep connections to Africa also made her the perfect person to voice Nala. “This mythic thing, this fictional thing that in some way does reflect something of culture on the continent [of Africa],” Jenkins said.
Mufasa: The Lion King will hit the theatres on December 20.
