Some (potentially) huge news from last last night here, as Variety reports that none other than pop megastar, Beyonce, is Disney and director Jon Favreau's top choice to voice Simba's childhood pal and eventual love interest, Nala, in their remake of The Lion King. Sources report that the Grammy winning singer/songwriter hasn't committed to the role yet, but that "the studio and director will do whatever it takes to accommodate her schedule."

Should Beyonce sign on, it would mark her first movie role since lending her voice to Fox's animated adventure, Epic. She has also appeared in the likes of Dreamgirls and Austin Powers: Goldmember.

The Lion King will see James Earl Jones reprise the role of Mufasa from the original, while Donald Glover will provide the voice of Simba. We could be in for quite a rendition of "Can you Feel the Love Tonight."

@MattBellissimo - Voice work can actually work a lot better for her, considering "live action" here is no-cap, would have been hesitant but feel like she could pull off a great nala with her tone that can be playful and romantic but also assertive, on the fence about this one but I definitely see how it could work

I'd be ok with Beyonce, but would rather see her as Simba's mom.

@thewanderer - Yeah, she has a deep, mature sounding voice that I don't think quite fits the energy of Nala as a young adult.

@Kevwebsz - No idea. I mean, she's probably the biggest megastar on the planet with an amazing voice, and they want her to be a part of their musical. What are they thinking??

@RorMachine - She is also a very expensive one. I would hate for the film to reduce CGI budget for Beyonce.
