Melissa McCarthy Cast As Ursula in ‘The Little Mermaid’ Remake

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s no secret that Disney has been busy working toward a live action remake of The Little Mermaid. Halle Bailey & Jonah Hauer-King had been cast in the parts of Ariel & Eric; the part of Ursula came down to two finalists.

After much deliberation, it was announced that ‘Gilmore Girls’ actress Melissa McCarthy won the role over runner-up Lizzo.

Some fans weren’t having it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUzRSUzQ3AlMjBsYW5nJTNEJTIyZW4lMjIlMjBkaXIlM0QlMjJsdHIlMjIlM0VJJTIwY291bGRuJTI2JTIzMzklM0J0JTIwY2FyZSUyMGxlc3MlMjBhYm91dCUyMGRpc25leSUyMGxpdmUtYWN0aW9uJTIwcmVtYWtlcyUyMGJ1dCUyMFVyc3VsYSUyMHNob3VsZCUyMG5vdCUyMGJlJTIwcGxheWVkJTIwYnklMjBNZWxpc3NhJTIwTWNDYXJ0aHklMjBhbmQlMjBzaG91bGQlMjBub3QlMjBiZSUyMHBsYXllZCUyMGJ5JTIwTGl6em8uJTIwVXJzdWxhJTIwc2hvdWxkJTIwYmUlMjBwbGF5ZWQlMjBieSUyMGElMjBEUkFHJTIwUVVFRU4lM0MlMkZwJTNFJTI2bWRhc2glM0IlMjBreWxlJTIwb2YlMjB0aGUlMjByYXRzJTIwJTI4JTQwa3lsZW9mdGhlcmF0cyUyOSUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRmt5bGVvZnRoZXJhdHMlMkZzdGF0dXMlMkYxNDk3MjI1NzA3MjMxMTA1MDI3JTNGcmVmX3NyYyUzRHR3c3JjJTI1NUV0ZnclMjIlM0VGZWJydWFyeSUyMDI1JTJDJTIwMjAyMiUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0MlMkZibG9ja3F1b3RlJTNFJTIwJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnBsYXRmb3JtLnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGd2lkZ2V0cy5qcyUyMiUyMGNoYXJzZXQlM0QlMjJ1dGYtOCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]While McCarthy will certainly bring a fun, chaotic energy to the character, one can’t help but wonder how Lizzo would’ve done in the role.
