Beyoncé Shared Her First 'Lion King' Photo

• Beyoncé dropped a new promotional image for The Lion King on Tuesday, July 2.

• In the shot, we see her profile next to Nala's, the character she portrays in Disney's upcoming live-action remake, in theaters on July 19.

On Tuesday, Beyoncé dropped the very-first promotional image of The Lion King on her Instagram.

In the new photo, the 37-year-old 23-time Grammy winner stares directly into the eyes of the live-action version of Nala, the beloved character she portrays in Disney’s upcoming remake, in theaters July 19. As is typical, Queen Bey didn’t provide a caption to the image, and instead let us bask in the glory of the shot. Fans in the comments understandably lost it, writing, “The Lion QUEEN!!!!!!” and “omg omg omg omg I’m so excited.” Disney also released images of the rest of the cast, including Donald Glover (Simba), with their movie likenesses. (See them all above.)

“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 in a recent OWN special that highlights her mother Tina Knowles’s Wearable Art Gala.

Notably, Beyoncé wore a Lion King-inspired look to the early June event. Speaking about the gala, she said, “My daughter gets to dress up and my husband, and this year it’s Lion King which, obviously I play Nala. So it’s the first time I’m doing any appearance as a person that stars in The Lion King, which is something that I grew up watching.”

Recently, we finally heard a teaser of Beyoncé’s A+ vocals in her rendition of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” with Donald Glover, who portrays Simba. An earlier teaser also found Beyoncé reciting a line as Nala: “Simba, you have to take your place as king. We need you. Come home.”

In addition to Queen Bey, the movie stars Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Billy Eichner as Timon, and James Earl Jones as Mufasa, his role in the original Disney classic.

The Lion King hits theaters July 19.
