Beyoncé and her eldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter are again joining forces on a creative endeavor, this time in Disney's "Lion King" prequel titled "Mufasa."
Disney released a trailer for "Mufasa: The Lion King" on Monday, and Beyoncé shared it to her Instagram as did her entertainment company Parkwood.
In "Mufasa" Beyoncé reprises her role as Queen Nala from the 2019 movie. King Simba will be voiced again by actor and singer Donald Glover. And 12-year-old Blue Ivy will now be the voice of a character named Kiara, who is the daughter of both.
Kiara last appeared in the animated film "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride" in 1998.
Directed by Oscar winner Barry Jenkins and scripted by writer Jeff Nathanson, "Mufasa" is a prequel to the 2019 live-action movie "Lion King." It takes fans back to the origin story of the king of lions, who is voiced by Aaron Pierre, with Kelvin Harrison playing the role of Scar.
The first trailer for the film was released in April.
The new movie is just Blue Ivy's latest gig. The young superstar, who holds the title as the youngest person to ever appear on a Billboard chart, has already made a name for herself and it seems she isn't slowing down anytime soon.
The new movie is coming to theaters Dec. 20.
