VIDEO : Director Jon Favreau Wants Beyonce To Play Nala In ?The Lion King? Remake

When we first found out that Jon Favreau, director of many things but most pertinently the recent live action remake of The Jungle Book, would be tackling The Lion King next, there was plenty of moaning of damaged childhoods and wails of ?nothing is sacred.? Then he announced that not only would Donald Glover be taking the reins as Simba, but James Earl Jones would be returning to the savannah to once again voice the iconic Mufasa. We?re officially on board. Plus, according to a report from Variety, Beyonce is Favreau?s first choice to play Nala. Pride Rock is about to be lit, y?all.
