Citing unnamed sources, Variety said Queen Bey is director Jon Favreau’s top choice to voice Nala.

“Insiders stress that the Grammy winner has not made a decision regarding the film yet, as the star is pregnant with twins. But since it’s a voice-acting role, sources say the studio and director will do whatever it takes to accommodate her schedule,” Variety said.

Perez Hilton was on the Beyoncé-as-Simba’s-mate train.

“We honestly think Bey would be the perfect choice to play the leading lioness, especially since the film is planning on keeping the songs from the original animated movie,” said the gossip site. “And while the superstar’s pregnancy is giving us doubts that she’ll take on the role, the studio and the director are reportedly willing to do ‘whatever it takes’ to accommodate Beyoncé’s schedule. As they should!”
