After weeks of music-less trailers, fans finally got the first taste of Beyoncé's vocals in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King" thanks to a that features her singing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" with co-star Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino). In the 30-second ad, the duo starring as Nala and Simba deliver a stripped-down, soulful and downright angelic rendition of the classic Elton John ballad.
Apparently, Beyoncé and Glover won't be the only two vocalists on the track; Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) are expected to join as well. Fans may recall the famous meerkat and warthog start off the song with a hilarious introduction in the original animated film.
Eichner back in January: "I play Timon and Timon and Pumbaa start singing 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight,' and then it segues into Beyoncé and Donald Glover singing it."
The version of the in the 1994 film included Joseph Williams (Simba's singing voice), Sally Dworsky (Nala's singing voice), Nathan Lane (Timon), Ernie Sabella (Pumba) and singer Kristie Edwards.
As the film's July 19 release date quickly approaches, Disney has been sharing more and more teasers of the highly-anticipated remake. Earlier this month, the company called "Come Home," showing Beyoncé speak as Nala for the first time. As expected, fans went wild.
