Answer
Black Is King
Answer
Black Is King
Beyoncé’s 2020 musical film connected to The Lion King is Black Is King.
Black Is King was written, directed, and executive-produced by Beyoncé. Released on Disney+ on July 31, 2020, it serves as a visual companion to The Lion King: The Gift, Beyoncé’s 2019 album inspired by the remake of The Lion King. The film reimagines themes from the story through music, dance, fashion, and imagery centered on Black identity and heritage.
The project includes performances and appearances by artists such as Jay-Z, Blue Ivy Carter, Pharrell Williams, Shatta Wale, and Major Lazer. It was filmed in locations and settings associated with Africa, Europe, and North America, using a deliberately international visual language.
Black Is King is not the same project as Homecoming, Beyoncé’s 2019 concert film about her Coachella performances. It is also separate from the narrative feature film The Lion King, in which she voiced adult Nala.
