Blue Ivy Carter, 12, is making her feature film debut alongside her mom, Beyoncé, in Disney’s upcoming film ‚Mufasa: The Lion King.‘
After performing with her mom onstage during the Renaissance tour, Blue Ivy Carter will join Beyoncé on the big screen.
The mother-daughter duo both voice characters in the upcoming prequel to 2019 live-action hit “The Lion King.” “Mufasa: The Lion King,” directed by Barry Jenkins and hitting theaters in December, tells the story of Mufasa’s life and his childhood with brother Scar.
Carter will voice Simba and Nala’s daughter, Kiara, while Beyoncé will reprise her role as Nala and Donald Glover will return as Simba. Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen are also back as Timon and Pumbaa.
While the film marks Carter’s first acting gig in a movie, the 12-year-old already has an impressive résumé. In addition to dancing backup on her mother‘s record-smashing Renaissance world tour, she is a Grammy winner thanks to her feature in Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl” music video, which took home the music video trophy at the 2021 Grammys.
