The 10-year-old singer will appear in the film as Jay-Z and her parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith plan to set up a new film production company, BBC Newsbeat reports.

"It's a perfect next step with teams that are accomplished, creative and innovative," Jay-Z said about the production company in a statement.

He added: "We're developing a true superstar in Willow."

The singer's debut single 'Whip My Hair' reached number two in the UK charts back in December.
