You can make an argument the only reason that movie made whatever money it made was cuz of Beyoncé. If she wasn't in it the movie probably would have made even less. You know what most Beyoncé fans like? Disney.
They don't need her. But this makes the movie feel even bigger than it was already going to be.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
They are not buying it for her voice
They are buying what Beyoncé can offer as an asset to the movie
Pay 25milly now, reap 5-10 times the benefits later.
Have people who might not be interested in TLK Live Action all of a suddenly pay attention
Bring her fandom and their eyeballs and purchasing dollars towards Disney coffers
Smart fucking move, rather than create fake Hype or request people to like and share just to to get a blip for their thing, this thing will look so grassroots natural, yet a fucking conglomerate doing everything behind the scenes

Wait what, Donald Glover is playing Simba?
To be honest, I have a hard time believing he and Bey will have any chemistry.
For Scar, give me Jason Isaacs, Javier Bardem or Andy Serkis.
Watch a Cure for Wellness. Jason Isaacs have some very terrifying scenes akin to how Scar would've been if he wasn't in an animated musical for the whole family.

Why ? I mean i dont love her...but i also dont hate her.
Dont see why she would be terrible for this.
Or is this another Will Smith type situation were everyone gets mad for whatever movie he is part of because of" reasons".
Captain America 3 also didnt need RDF....he was still part of the project because it meant even more money. Thats how they operate - why just produce a big movie when you could invest a bit more and have one of the biggest ever.

Jay-Z: "So I'ma play Simba right?"
Disney: "No, we got Donald Glover. We're good."
Jay-Z: "You got who?"
Disney: "Donald.........Glover?"

Not even the Queen could save a movie with that much Dreamworks Face.

Sounds fine I guess, but I'm certainly not as convinced by her music production capabilities as the legendary Sir Elton.

Again...just as silly as what he initially said.
Girls Trip is considered the best comedy of the year so far, it goes beyond the black demo. Look at its hold on the 2nd weekend, that's word of mouth not that just black people are going in droves to see it.
Saying black people go hard for black films is so ignorant. Yeah sure, you got Tyler perry movies making 60/70m every once in a while but chill out with that crap.

Why do black people supporting something make you angry? You should explore that

I think her voice could suite Nala well. I've never been too impressed with her as an actor though.

i have no issues with this especially since they're going to give her some of the best writers/use original songs from the original movie.
In other words, they can't take away the original.

What is this post and what are you angry about? You're mad he said black women support movies starring black women? Then you're just randomly talking about Tyler Perry movies.
Also there's just like a weird random hate for certain black celebrities on gaf. I didn't know Beyonce had it like Will Smith here.

They don't scrap it. Just modernize it and add new ones.

Because a group of people aren't supporting something JUST because it has black individuals in it...people have a mind of their own and see what they want to see. Broad and ignorant statements about black people supporting anything movie related just because it has a black cast is silly.
