The wait is almost over. In a new teaser for Disney’s iconic film, The Lion King, fans are blessed with a preview of Beyoncé and Donald Glover singing “Can You Feel The Love Tonight.”
Throughout the latest trailer, Nala (Queen B) and Simba (Glover) are seen snuggling, which ties in perfectly with the song. There is also a voiceover from Mufasa (James Earle Jones) who speaks on the great kings and stars in the sky.
Last month, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Glover shared his excitement regarding his upcoming role in the Jon Favreau directed film.
“[The Lion King is] a timeless story, but I think the way Favreau has constructed it, it’s a very timely story as well,” the Because the Internet artist said. “I just wanted to be a part of a global good.”
Diving deeper into the conversation, Childish Gambino explained that the film provides a unique perspective.
“It was really amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. “To be able to have that type of mobility in an actual world is the first of its kind, I think. How he melded new and old tech was really inspiring.”
It comes as no surprise that Beyoncé has the same energy regarding the film. Earlier this month, while attending the Wearable Art Gala, the Lemonade artist explained that she can’t wait for her kids to experience the culture.
“I’m so excited for my kids to see it, but it means even more to share this experience and this culture of The Lion King with my mother and my family,” Beyoncé said.
The Lion King is set to hit the big screen on July 19. Rock out to the latest trailer of Donald Glover and Beyoncé singing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” below.
