Jon Favreau Wants Beyoncé for Nala in 'The Lion King'
The Grammy winner dropped out of Coachella because of her pregnancy, but a voice-acting role is a lot less demanding than headlining a musical festival. Sources tell Variety that Disney and Favreau will "do whatever it takes to accommodate her schedule."
Already on board: James Earl Jones reprises his role as Simba's father, Mufasa.
Gabrielle Union voices Nala in the TV series "The Lion Guard."
This would be Beyonce's first film role since voicing Queen Tara in the 2013 animated fairy tale "Epic."
