In the first drafts of The Lion King, Scar wanted Nala to be his queen!

The scene was cut from the film because they thought it would take too long to set up and it would be a little creepy. However, the scene was later used in the Lion King Broadway show. Scar sings a reprise of Be Prepared with more... sensual lyrics. Nala's rejection is the reason why she leaves the pride and (presumable) ends up finding Simba.

They did a complete storyboard of it, though. You can see the scene as it was going to play out in the video below
