petty 9,412 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 she's honestly going to be perfect. i can't wait for her to slay this role and leave you racist nonbelievers with egg on your face Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa 19,048 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I like that they are doing something new and fresh with this version. No point in doing a shot-for-shot remake of the animated one. I LOVED Little Mermaid was I was a kid, but it's not going anywhere, it's still available for everyone to watch and enjoy and that Ariel will always be iconic. I'm not familiar with this actress, but she has a great voice so I'm excited! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dit 45,453 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Not too here for the casting...I'm all for women of color having more roles but Ariel's look is sort of an iconic as is. What should happen is directors and disney should make more POC princesses and characters on the regular, put in as much promotion and money to popularize them among kids and then hire WOC to play the roles! but I know that is too idealistic and hollywood wont do that so I'm ok with POC acting in roles that were historically white. As long as they dont get as many oppertunities then this is how things gotta be from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthling 3,685 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 For everyone upset by this go watch Aquaman and be happy look your Ariel has already been adapted Like LITERALLY So stfu and let's support Halle Bailey this talanted and exciting new actor who from the set pictures and that video of her/them singing looks absolutely perfect especially for the 1989 Caribbean setting *she switched baristas. ☕️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may both be red headed merpeople but Mera is Mera not Ariel. DC does give lovely red hair representation with both Mera and Poison Ivy though. However I will always give Lin-Manuel Miranda a shot. His music is amazing. A hope some of that Hamilton sound will get through. So I’ll watch the movie. I’ll make up my mind if I like it or not after I’ve watched it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since Sofia Coppola and Chloe Grace Moretz pulled out its been quiet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fire-truck red haired, literal fish out of water, ocean kingdom princess is pretty damn close though Close enough that the people complaining about not being able to see ""their"" version of Ariel should be somewhat satisfied *she switched baristas. ☕️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
