Beyonce looks to be signing a very big deal with Disney, the studio she worked with on The Lion King redo in 2019.
The singer – best known for the hit songs Crazy In Love and Single Ladies – is close to agreeing to a $100M deal with the company to work on three new projects, according to a Tuesday report from The Sun.
One of the first projects will be the soundtrack for Black Panther 2, which will come out in 2021, it was claimed.
The singer will appear on the soundtrack for Marvel film Black Panther 2, which is due for release next year, plus two other blockbusters.
It comes after she featured on last year’s remake of The Lion King.
A source said: “Beyoncé has become a major player for Disney and is the perfect fit for their brand.
“She’s worked on a number of projects for them, including voicing Nala in the reboot of The Lion King, and now they’re keen to secure her for more projects.
“Disney have put forward a deal worth around £80million, which will secure Beyoncé for three major projects, including the Black Panther sequel.
“As part of the deal they are also trying to get her team to agree to have Beyoncé voicing some of the new documentaries coming to Disney Plus.
“After the success of having Meghan Markle voicing the film Elephant on the platform, they have projects coming up which align perfectly with Beyoncé’s brand.
“The negotiations are still ongoing but it’s the final details that are being thrashed out now.”
Beyoncé’s first affiliation with Disney came in 2007 when she appeared as Alice In Wonderland as part of the Disney Dream Portrait series.
