According to That Hashtag Show, a source close to Walt Disney Studios told them that The Greatest Showman's Zendaya Coleman has been offered the role of Ariel.
It's worth noting that both Zendaya's representative and Disney refused to comment on the speculation, so at this time...well, we're taking it with a grain of salt (although we think she would be fab in the role).
The film will reportedly feature a mix of songs from the original animated tale as well as some new ones - with Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda and songwriter Alan Menken working together.
The director of Mary Poppins Returns, Rob Marshall, is set to helm the picture.
There has been no word yet on when the movie will become part of our world, but we're definitely excited.Explore more on these topics:
