UPDATE: The Rumor has now been proven false according to Variety‘s Matt Donnelly.
“Despite overwhelming excitement at the prospect, sources tell me there is no big Disney film deal for Beyonce, and she will not contribute to the soundtrack for #BlackPanther2. As a self-professed proud member of the Disney family, it’s likely she’ll work w them again at some point.“
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
According to the outlet, The Sun, Beyoncé is in negotiations on a very large deal with Disney. The deal cold see unconfirmed deal could see the singer and actress involved in three of the Mouse’s major projects, and reportedly has $100M payday. One of the projects is said to be Black Panther II and she would be part of the soundtrack, the outlet claims.
The singer recently lent her voice to the character of Nala in Disney’s live-action The Lion King. It appears the other projects may also be requiring the use of the pop star’s voice by narrating documentaries. You can check out what The Sun‘s source had to say below.

“Beyoncé has become a major player for Disney and is the perfect fit for their brand. 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 is wildly popular and while you should, but even so, you take this information with a grain of salt. However, nothing about the rumor suggests anything too crazy. I would say this one is likely to be true. Aspects of the potential deal just seem to add up. Talented in multiple aspects of stage and screen, it makes sense Disney would want Beyoncé to be part of the House of Mouse.
