#BLACKISKING was in production for one year with a cast and crew that represent diversity and connectivity. The film reimagines the timeless lessons of #TheLionKing for today’s young Kings and Queens in search of their own crowns. https://t.co/5xsRWFmwF9 — BEYONCé LEGION (@BeyLegion) June 28, 2020

The trailer starts with Beyonce saying, "The journey is a gift" as the camera focuses in on a royal family. A man asks, "Who are you?" Then a man answers, "OK, I'm not a king yet, but I feel like I've got potential for you. But I'm not there yet, I have to say." "The ancestors never left you," Beyoncé says in another voice-over. "You can't wear a crown with your head down." We still don't know what these meant. But fans are now very excited.
