BLACK PANTHER 2 Beyonce Rumor Debunked, But She Will Likely Work With Disney Again "At Some Point"

Beyonce fans were very excited when a rumor that the pop megastar had signed a massive deal with Disney dropped earlier today, but it doesn't look like there's any truth to the story. Find out more here...

A rumor that Beyonce had signed a massive $100 million deal with Disney and was set to be involved in Marvel's Black Panther 2 in some capacity did the rounds earlier today, but this has now been debunked.

Variety's Matt Donnelly shared an update via Twitter, shooting down The Sun's report that The Queen had entered into any kind of deal with the House of Mouse, and refuting the claim that she'd been asked to contribute to the Black Panther sequel's soundtrack.

However, the trade's Senior Film Writer does mention that Beyonce will likely work with Disney again at some point after providing the voice of Nala and composing the song "Spirit" for Jon Favreau's recent Lion King remake.

This was always a bit of an iffy rumor, but it's worth noting that The Sun - while an absolute rag in most respects - has been known to get the scoop on some pretty major stories from time to time, so it's not too surprising that this gained a lot of traction.

Black Panther 2 will once again be helmed by Ryan Coogler, and will see Chadwick Boseman reprise the role of King T'Challa. The Marvel sequel is currently scheduled for release in 2022.

Good, she can't act. Maybe her singing is good, but that's it.

Good. Never got the hype behind Beyonce anyway.

But just because she's not involved in the soundtrack now doesn't mean she won't be later

The Lion King was a soulless endeavor, but keep on throwing money at Beyonce.

@Battabing - Was she the reason it was a "soulless endeavor?"

@Battabing - A roadkill has more life and emotion than her Nala acting.

@EskimoJ - No, but they used her to sell it.

This is good news 🙏🏻

Getting Beyonce for BP2 would come off as an MCU/Disney decision and not one from Ryan Coogler. Imo.

@regularmovieguy - Not only that but it would come off as a corporate Disney decision and not a Feige, Coogler, and Sarah Finn decision!

I figured this was the case. It sounded like the deal itself was just for future use and the guy just guessed involvement with black panther 2. It sounded fishy.

This saves me the trouble of writing a snarky comment on the other article.
