Beyonce and Donald Glover sing Can You Feel the Love Tonight in new teaser for The Lion King reboot

Disney dropped a new international TV spot on Thursday featuring the first snippet of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Donald Glover singing Can You Feel the Love Tonight in The Lion King remake.

It’s the first time fans got a chance to hear the 37-year-old R&B diva and the 35-year-old triple threat perform a duet since they’ve never collaborated before.

In the 30-second teaser, Simba the lion and Nala the lioness harmonize during their a cappella-style duet while snuggling atop a large cliff.

The new version of the song from the original 1994 animated classic also features vocals from Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon, which were not included in the trailer.

The five-time Grammy winner recently admitted it was ‘a little intimidating’ recording the classic love song with the 23-time Grammy winner.

‘[At least] from my point of view,’ Donald aka Childish Gambino told ET in May.

‘It’s actually been really great and just hearing her! It has been, like man, this is a really special thing.’

Glover admitted he was ‘in the fourth grade’ when the track was first released – and it went on to earn Elton John and Tim Rice an Oscar, Golden Globe Award, and Grammy Award.

Here’s hoping The Lion King turns out better than Knowles’ last acting role voicing a Mother Nature-style Queen Tara in Chris Wedge’s forgettable CG-animated flick Epic in 2013.

The Homecoming star’s other acting credits have included Obsessed, Dreamgirls, and Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Meanwhile, the Guava Island actor is next scheduled to perform July 14 at Australia’s RAC Arena in Perth.
