Beyoncé is reportedly in talks with Disney to work on three upcoming movies, including Black Panther 2.

As The Sun reports, the singer and actress could seal a potential deal worth $100m (£80million) for her involvement in the upcoming Black Panther sequel as well as two other projects.

Beyoncé previously provided the voice for Nala in last year's The Lion King reboot, and the new reports suggest she could play a significant role in the future of Disney movies.

“Beyonce has become a major player for Disney and is the perfect fit for their brand,” a source told The Sun. “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.

“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.”

Beyoncé previously sang When You Wish Upon a Star from Pinocchio as part of a Disney Family Singalong event in April, saying at the time: “I’m very proud and honoured to be a part of the Disney family."

Black Panther 2 is currently due to be released in May 2022, with Ryan Coogler in the director's chair and the original cast due to return.
