Beyoncé is reportedly in “final negotiations” to play Nala in the coming computer-animated remake of “The Lion King,” which will be coproduced and directed by Jon Favreau.

According to a report by Harpers Bazaar online, citing the BeyHive Team fan account on Twitter, the pop star will be paid $25 million for her involvement in the said project, which will also have her “curating” and “producing” new “African-inspired” music for the movie’s official soundtrack.

The news has yet to be officially confirmed by either Beyoncé’s camp or Walt Disney Pictures. But if it turns out to be accurate, Beyoncé will be joining the likes of Donald Glover, who will play Simba, Seth Rogen (Pumbaa), Billy Eichner (Timon), John Oliver (Zazu) and James Earl Jones (Mufasa).

The film is set to open on July 19, 2019. —ALLAN POLICARPIO
