Days after Halle Bailey was cast in the role of Ariel for the live-action remake of Disney’s the Little Mermaid, many fans are already calling for Idris Elba to play her father, King Triton.
Again, while fan reception has largely been positive to the idea of Idris Elba as King Triton, the concept is merely speculation at this time.
However, there have been many reports of other possible names finalizing deals to appear in the movie as other characters.
Directed by Rob Marshall (Mary Poppins Returns), the upcoming iteration of The Little Mermaid will feature a very similar plot to the animated movie from 1989.
