New TV Spot For Disney's THE LION KING Features New Footage and The Voice of Beyoncé's Nala
Disney has shared a new TV spot for director Jon Favreau’s The Lion King and along with some fun new footage, it also allows us to hear Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala for the first time. As you might expect, it sounds like Beyoncé.
The film “journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.”
The film also stars Donald Glover as Simba, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.
The Lion King opens in theaters on July 19th, 2019.
