Here is the trailer for Beyoncé's forthcoming Black is King visual album featuring an A-list cast of black stars and icons.

Starring Jay-Z, Kelly Rowland and Pharrell, as well as Naomi Campbell, Lupita N’yongo and Beyoncé, Black is King is due to premiere on Disney+ on July 31. 

Inspired by last year’s live-action version of The Lion King the poetical film "reimagines the lessons from the 2019 blockbuster for today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns".

The film was shot in a number of different locations across the world including New York, Los Angeles, South Africa, West Africa, London and Belgium.

The film's production company Parkwood Entertainment said: "The film is a story for the ages that informs and rebuilds the present. A reunion of cultures and shared generational beliefs. A story of how the people left most broken have an extraordinary gift and a purposeful future."
