Meet the Cast of Disney's Live-Action Little Mermaid Movie
With the upcoming live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid," Disney is getting ready to take us under the sea. Its early development began in 2016. Following the mainly positive reviews of live-action "Beauty and the Beast," starring Emma Watson as Belle, and "Aladdin," starring Will Smith as Genie, it seemed only a matter of time before our favorite red-headed princess made a splash as well.
