Who is Blue Ivy Carter playing in Mufasa: The Lion King?
Blue Ivy Carter is stepping into Disney royalty as Princess Kiara. She’s voicing Simba and Nala’s eldest daughter in the highly anticipated prequel Mufasa: The Lion King. And yes, Beyoncé is back as Queen Nala, while Donald Glover reprises Simba.

Blue Ivy Carter didn’t get the role of Princess Kiara because of her parents’ influence
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Did Blue Ivy Carter land this Disney role because her parents are Beyoncé and Jay-Z? Surprisingly, no! According to director Barry Jenkins, her parents had nothing to do with it. He told PEOPLE:
Her parents weren’t involved in her booking this film. You know, she had read this book, this audiobook Hair Love with my friend Matthew Cherry. And I just really loved her voice. Because [when] this movie begins, it’s all voices. I could just tell that she was going to bring this really wonderful innocence, but also the knowingness of a highly evolved child.
Jenkins knew she’d bring the right energy to Princess Kiara, and honestly, he nailed it. Blue auditioned and earned her spot fair and square. And while it’s easy to assume her last name opened doors, it’s her talent that’s keeping them open. If anything, this proves Blue Ivy is carving her own path. Sure, having Beyoncé as a mom is cool, but talent? That’s all Blue.
