Blue Ivy Carter joins her mother Beyoncé in the animated film “Mufasa: The Lion King.”
Blue Ivy Carter will make her film debut alongside her mum Beyoncé in “Mufasa: The Lion King.” The trailer for Disney’s animated film was unveiled on Monday, revealing that Beyoncé and Donald Glover have reprised their roles as Nala and Simba and that Blue Ivy would voice their daughter Kiara.
“Mufasa: The Lion King,” directed by Barry Jenkins, is told through flashbacks and is framed around Rafiki telling Kiara about how her grandfather Mufasa became one of the greatest kings of the Pride Lands. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the “Moonlight” director recalled pitching the idea to the music superstar after hearing Blue Ivy narrate the audiobook of Matthew A. Cherry’s book “Hair Love.”
