Other stars who have already been cast in the iconic film are Donald Glover as the voice of Simba and James Earl Jones, again, will play as Simba's father, Mufasa.

"Lion King," first released in 1994, is one of the highest grossed animated films ever, generating over $968.5 million worldwide.

If Queen Bey accepts the role, it would be her second role lending her voice. In 2009, she was the voice of Queen Tara in the Fox animated film "Epic."

Beyoncé, who currently has an estimated net worth of $290 million, according to Forbes, always had leading roles in each movie she has ever starred in since 2001. The singer has generated $994.3 million from box offices worldwide.

Therefore, Beyoncé may also receive a generous offer as the voice of Nala considering her star power. Recently, it was reported actress Emma Watson earned $3 million for her role as Belle in the remake of Disney live-action, "The Beauty And The Beast"– she could even earn up to $15 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
