OMG! Javier Bardem Might Play King Triton in Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid’

Are you ready to see Javier Bardem as a shirtless mermaid? We are!

Apparently, the Oscar-winner is in talks to join Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid as the role of King Triton, the father of Ariel — who is being played by Halle Bailey.

As we previously reported, Harry Styles is also in talks for the role of Prince Eric. Melissa McCarthy will be starring as Ursula, Awkwafina as Scuttle, and Jacob Tremblay as Flounder.

Marc Platt, Rob Marshall, Lin-Manuel Miranda and John DeLuca are producing the film for Disney. And the original film’s composer Alan Menken is back to write new music and craft the lyrics with Miranda.

Can this happen please?!
