THE LION KING: Beyonce's Nala Speaks In This New TV Spot For Disney's Upcoming Remake

It might be a while before we get to hear her sing, but this new TV spot for Disney's "live-action" remake of The Lion King gives us our first idea of how superstar Beyonce will sound as Nala the lioness.

Disney has debuted an extended TV spot for the upcoming remake of The Lion King, and it spotlights Nala the lioness (Beyonce Knowles) as she tells Simba (Donald Glover) that he must take his rightful place as king.

This marks the first time we've heard Beyonce deliver any dialogue as Nala, who is expected to have a much larger role. The character only sang a duet ("Can You Feel The Love Tonight") with Simba in the animated original, but you can bet The Queen will be getting a new song of her own this time.

The teaser also features some new footage of Simba's climactic battle with his evil uncle Scar (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and Timon (Billy Eichner) coming to the rescue, and more.




Director Jon Favreau’s all-new “The Lion King” 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 all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon.

Disney’s The Lion King roars into theaters on July 19, 2019.

Can't wait to hear those songs.

@BigMikeReviews - I’m definitely not keep it coming. It’s only fatigue because of you, not the studios. You have a choice not to watch them.

@LiteralSense90 - Oh I don't blame the studios.. they are cynically making billions on empty nostalgia, throwing in a new song or two doesn't change the fact it's the exact same movie, just not told as well

It just looks so boring seeing "real" animals talking to each other. The original was able to show a wide range of facial expressions that this can't achieve.

Really looking forward to this but the realistic designs might be a mistake. I get why they did it, but they definitely seem to be missing a bit of personality.

@RorMachine - I agree. How would you have approached it though? That's the part I'm stumped on.

Personally, I dont think I would have did a live action remake for this one honestly, hopefully it's different when we actually see everyone else talking and hopefully emoting.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 6/3/2019, 2:04 PM
@MyCoolYoung - I'm not sure. Maybe make them MORE realistic but still keep an element of what made the characters stand out. Different coloring for Scar and Zazu etc. A bit more expression on the faces.
MyCoolYoung
MyCoolYoung - 6/3/2019, 2:34 PM
@RorMachine - that's actually pretty interesting. Thanks for the reply

@RorMachine - Mowgli from Serkis have an outstanding translation of expressions in the animals, mostly because of motion picture. But there was something odd seeing "realistic" animals acting like cartoons.
Gizmoduck

@Legendaddy - Mowgli was inferior to Favreaus The Jungle Book LA remake, better kid playing mowgli, better voices(both had a bad versions of baloo - bill murray just didnt work and Mowgli's baloo was a strange take on him in general), better animation all around too.
Legendaddy
Legendaddy - 6/6/2019, 11:43 AM
@Gizmoduck - yeah I know, just saying there were expressions on the animals' faces and still didn't completely worked out

It's funny because we really haven't seen anything from this movie so I won't judge how the final product turns out based on a few clips. That delivery was bad though and I'm hoping that was just for the trailers

@RorMachine

We were going to see young Thanos with the Eternals in Endgame. Might see him show up in Eternals movie.

@BlackBeltJones - I've been thinking that Jolie could be playing Sui-San, Thanos' mom.

MyCoolYoung - 6/3/2019, 2:34 PM
@BlackBeltJones - we definitely need more thanos. I wonder what version would he be.
MyCoolYoung
MyCoolYoung - 6/3/2019, 2:35 PM
@KingCipher - if you said loki I'd be ok with that but thanos has been in our head since the new York attack and we really only got one movie of fleshing him out. I'm all in on more thanos backstory
