Blue Ivy Carter will be joining her mother, Beyonc\u00e9 Knowles-Carter, in the movie musical \u201cMufasa: The Lion King,\u201d which is expected in theaters in December.<\/p>\n

The movie \u2014 a prequel to \u201cThe Lion King,\u201d<\/a> the 2019 hyperrealistic remake of the Disney classic starring Beyonc\u00e9 as the voice of Nala \u2014 will be directed by Barry Jenkins, who won a best adapted screenplay Oscar for \u201cMoonlight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blue Ivy, 12, will make her feature film debut by voicing Kiara, the daughter of Nala and Simba, who will again be voiced by Donald Glover. (Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, Mads Mikkelsen and Thandiwe Newton will also lend their talents.)<\/p>\n

\u201cA buddy of mine, Matthew Cherry, made the short film called \u2018Hair Love\u2019 that Blue Ivy did the audiobook of,\u201d Jenkins told Entertainment Weekly<\/a> in an article published on Monday. \u201cStarting this project and just having that in the ether, I was like, \u2018Is it worth a shot? Would Blue Ivy want to do it? Would Beyonc\u00e9 want to act opposite her daughter? Is it too close to home?\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cBut once we put the question to them, they both responded with enthusiasm.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
