Blue Ivy Carter will play Kiara, the daughter of Nala and Simba, in the prequel film.
Hear her roar! Blue Ivy Carter will join her mom, Beyoncé, to make her voice-acting debut in Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King prequel.
The eldest daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z was announced as part of the cast during the trailer’s release, which was shared on the internet on April 29. The 12-year-old can add the gig to her already extensive resume, which also features a guest appearance in multiple shows of her mom’s Renaissance World Tour.
Although the movie’s first trailer did not give a sneak peek into Blue Ivy’s acting voice, fans of the young star and her famous parents highly anticipate watching her debut. Blue Ivy has already shown fans her knack for the spotlight before. In fact, Beyoncé’s Renaissance film shed new light on how the young girl got to perform at some of the world’s biggest venues.
The concert film revealed how Blue Ivy had to learn the new dances ahead of her debut on stage. At first, Beyonce was hesitant to let her daughter face potential scrutiny by the public.
Fortunately, Blue Ivy worked hard and brushed off the criticism as she sought to perfect her moves.
“It was magical,” said the proud mom. “Her confidence just grew and grew. It was a beautiful thing for her.”
