Following its teaser trailer last month, Disney Pictures has premiered the first poster for its live-action take on “The Little Mermaid” coming to theaters May 26th 2023.
Rob Marshall helms the film about Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric.
While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.
The cast inlcludes Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian. Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle; Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula.
