Rumors are circulating that Zendaya has reportedly been offered the role of Ariel in Disney’s upcoming live-action version of the 1989 animated classic.
It’s unclear whether the Spider-Man: Homecoming star actually wants to be part of Disney’s world, since Zendaya’s reps have declined to comment on the speculation.
Regardless of who plays the titular rebellious mermaid, the film is slated to be directed by Mary Poppins Returns’s Rob Marshall, with music by Hamilton’s master lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and Disney heavy-hitter Alan Menken.
As for potential castmates if Zendaya were to play Ariel, Elle speculated that, because the Disney alum is a woman of color, the role of Ariel’s father, King Triton, as well as those of her sisters and undersea pals, would likely be played by actors of color, for a more-inclusive adaptation all around.
I’m disappointed that they don’t take a red-haired actress to play the Little Mermaid because Ariel is THE red-haired Disney princess ! (I don’t know Merida, sorry)
But on the other hand, Zendaya is beautiful, she is one of my favorite celebrities, she will be beautiful as a Mermaid, and it’s certain that the movie will be beautiful thanks to her presence !
