Beyonce Formation World Tour

An amazing cast is set to star in the live-action remake of the Lion King. Headlined by Beyonce as the voice of Nala, the film is already one of the most highly anticipated releases that will come in forthcoming years. But fans of both Beyonce and the music of The Lion King are in for a treat as it is believed she will recreate hits from the film alongside Sir Elton John. The New York Daily News reports, John has agreed to a deal to recreate songs from the classic soundtrack.

“The songs will be thread into the storyline,” a source told NY Daily News. “It is unthinkable when you have Beyoncé involved not to have her sing some of those iconic hits — and that means huge sales to a new generation. The deal is a huge one and will earn him millions at many stages. Obviously [Elton John] will get a one off licensing deal followed by a cut in royalties from all aspects of the work.”

Joining Beyonce in the film will be Donald Glover as Simba, who is pretty talented musically as well. What song would you like to see Beyonce tackle from the classic?
