The Little Mermaid's Live-Action Prince Eric Will Be Jonah Hauer-King!

Congratulations are in order for rising star Jonah Hauer-King as he just landed the role of a lifetime!

The 24-year-old British actor will be joining the star-studded cast of Disney’s live-action musical remake of The Little Mermaid in the role of Prince Eric.

You might recognizes Jonah from his work in A Dog’s Way Home and the 2017 BBC adaptation of Little Women.

The cast also includes Halle Bailey as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, and Javier Bardem as King Triton. Rounding out the cast are Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, and Daveed Diggs as the voice as Sebastian.

Harry Styles was previously in talks to take on the role, but he ultimately passed on the role. Rob Marshall is directing the adaptation of The Little Mermaid and production will begin in early 2020.
