Not feeling McCarthy either but at least I think she’ll be better than the awful live action Jaafar.

Styles was actually waiting to see if would get the lead role in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic before committing to this project. If all goes well him not playing Elvis might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Javier Bardem is in talks to play King Triton. He wasn't the first person I had in mind for this part, but I think he'll be great.

I have admired Cummings as a person and an actor since I was a little boy. Lots of his colleagues consider him to be one of the nicest guys around. We all have different opinions, but now that I think about it I don't know if it was the best idea for him to like that Tweet. One of his good friends in the voice acting industry, Cree Summer, who has African-American heritage, is insanely talented and she's voiced characters in cartoons who aren't the same race as her. Penny from Inspector Gadget and Elmyra Duff from Tiny Toon Adventures are good examples. Summer was clearly cast in those parts because she obviously had the right voice that they were looking for.

Everyone has right for their own opinion, as long as it not extreme.
Hating on someone for a mere disagreement is sign of mental illness. |

Counting navels are a big no-no for Disney I wonder how they'll re-do the shell bikini. I'm guessing they'll go with a one piece swimsuit aquaman looking blouse. Almost as big of a screw up as having a black Ariel.

Yeah I don’t think they’re gonna go with sea shells - parading boobs and cleavages to little children is gonna get lots of angry moms sending death threats to Disney. Probably gonna be a part/full suit like Aquaman too but obviously with mermaid tail.
With cool suits like that, Atlantica would have been a high tech city too. |

I'm imagining something like the teal scaly suit that Mera wore in Aquaman, except y'know with a tail instead of legs.

Harry Styles passed on the role of Prince Eric.

So this movie won’t just be an inter-species relationship between a mermaid and a human, but also an interracial one since Eric is still white. I wonder if that will come up in the movie similar to the taboo of Triton hating mermaids with humans, since Triton will be black most likely.

We don't know what race Eric will be as they haven't cast him yet. Also Javier Bardem isn't black.

So Ariel isn't his real daughter but adopted? They just keep changing more and more things aren't they?

For all we know the mom is Leslie Jones, though.

Christian Navarro of 13 Reasons Why is auditioning for the part of Prince Eric now that Harry Styles is no longer up for the part. Should he get it, Disney would continue to diversify the cast by having a Latino play Eric.

Well a Latino being cast makes sense with a black Little Mermaid. I don’t think Eric has to be a white cis male.

They'll need someone to fill the "dopey white guy" capacity.
