First of all, due to the choice of African-American singer Halle Bailey to play the role of the mermaid caused a public opinion storm, and then rumored to be tragically refused by Harry Styles to play the male lead, the live-action version of "The Mermaid" has not yet begun filming, which can be described as the most unsuccessful casting since Disney remade an animated movie. The good news, however, is that the handsome prince candidate has finally been decided – he is Jonah Hauer-King!
Although slightly underage and well-known, Jonah Hauer-King has already had a standout in the episodic version of Little Women, which was released in 2017, as well as in Stranger Things.
Look at Jonah's cute dimples in this photo, completely like Prince Eric in "The Mermaid", as long as the hair color is slightly blackened, it is a noble prince printed in a mold.
In addition, Jonah has also collaborated with Alex Lawther, who recently broke the table in the second season of "Go to X's World", in the British film "First Love In The Hand"; the two played love enemies in the play: an extrovert and handsome, an introvert who did not dare to speak, but pursued the same girl, full of jokes.
Other casts include Melissa McCarthy, a comedian nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for The Old Writer, who will play Disney's most distinctive villain in "The Mermaid," the evil sea witch Ursula. Just the thought of her sinisterly singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls" on eight legs makes it worth the ticket price!
Child star Jacob Tremblay, who performed stunningly in the Oscar-winning film "The Room," played the mermaid's best friend, Halibut. Awkwafina of "The Golden Harvester" will voice the seagull!
As for the mermaid's father, King Triton, it is very likely that Javier Bardem will be played by Javier Bardem; but will Javier Baden's past performances of mostly sinister characters bring a dark atmosphere to the sea god?
