Deadline has brought word that Krypton vet Cameron Cuffe and A Dog’s Way Home star Jonah Hauer-King have begun testing to take on the role of Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid.
Mary Poppins Returns director Rob Marshall will helm the film which features a script by David Magee (Life of Pi, Mary Poppins Returns).
The news comes one month after Harry Styles (Dunkirk) passed on the major role in the live-action Disney project.
No stranger to musicals, or working for Disney, Marshall was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director for his feature film debut, Chicago.
