Listen to her roar! It has been announced that the talented Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, will be making her voice-acting debut in the highly anticipated Disney prequel, Mufasa: The Lion King. It was during the release of the trailer on April 29 that the 12-year-old's involvement in the film was revealed, causing much excitement among fans. This will be just one of the many impressive feats on Blue Ivy's already impressive resume, which includes a guest appearance on her mom's Renaissance World Tour.
In the film, Blue Ivy will be portraying Kiara, the daughter of Nala and Simba. The prequel will dive into Mufasa's journey to becoming king, while still featuring the same stunning live-action animals from the 2019 adaptation. Along with returning cast members Beyoncé and Donald Glover as the current King and Queen of the Pride, the film will also introduce new additions such as Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as a young Mufasa and Scar, and Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner reprising their roles as the iconic warthog and meerkat duo.
While the trailer did not give a sneak peek of Blue Ivy's voice acting, fans are eagerly anticipating her debut in the film. The young star has already shown her natural talent for the spotlight, as seen in her performances on her mom's tour. In fact, Beyoncé's Renaissance film shed light on the hard work and dedication that went into Blue Ivy's performances on some of the world's biggest stages.
The film revealed how Blue Ivy had to learn new dances ahead of her debut, and how Beyoncé was initially hesitant to let her daughter face potential scrutiny from the public. "Blue told me she was ready to perform, and I told her ‘no,'" Beyoncé shared in the film, as reported by The Washington Post. "I did not think it was an appropriate place for an 11-year-old, on the stadium stage. All the things I had to go through and the obstacles I had to overcome prepared me — and she hasn't had that struggle."
But through hard work and perseverance, Blue Ivy proved her mother wrong and wowed audiences with her talent and confidence on stage. "It was magical," Beyoncé said proudly. "Her confidence just grew and grew. It was a beautiful thing for her." And now, Blue Ivy will get to showcase her skills on screen, using her voice to bring Kiara to life.
Mufasa: The Lion King is set to release in theaters on Dec. 20, and fans can't wait to see Blue Ivy's debut performance. This is just the beginning for the talented young star, and we can't wait to see where her career takes her next.
