Which film featured Beyoncé as Nala in the 2019 photorealistic remake?

Beyoncé voiced Nala in The Lion King, the 2019 photorealistic remake of Disney’s animated film.

The movie was directed by Jon Favreau and used computer-generated imagery to create highly realistic animal characters and environments. Beyoncé joined a cast that included Donald Glover as Simba, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, and James Earl Jones, who returned as Mufasa.

Nala is a lioness who was Simba’s childhood friend and later becomes his mate and queen. Beyoncé also contributed the original song “Spirit” to the film’s soundtrack. The song appeared in the movie and was connected with the companion album The Lion King: The Gift.

This role is sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s earlier film work in Dreamgirls, where she played Deena Jones. The two projects differ sharply: Dreamgirls is a musical drama inspired by the history of vocal groups, while The Lion King is an animated-film remake.
