35 Actors Who Would Be Magical in Disney's Live-Action Version of The Little Mermaid

Let's be honest, Zendaya is practically a Disney princess IRL. She's gorgeous, super talented, and she is also super inspiring to her younger fans.

Based on all her celebrity impersonations, we already know Grande has the pipes. Maybe she would actually let her hair down to play the iconic mermaid?

Carpenter is yet another Disney Channel starlet who'd make a perfect Ariel. Her raspy voice would be an interesting twist for the iconic role.

Steinfeld totally has the famous mermaid's upbeat personality. Yes, she can she sing, but she's also an Oscar-nominated actress. We're sure she would kill it.

Criss has already proven himself to be a worthy Prince Eric when he appeared in movie's live performance at The Hollywood Bowl. Plus, he's a big Disney fan, so you know he would take the role seriously.

The Star Wars star is the perfect mix of cute and sexy. We definitely wouldn't be able to pull ourselves away from the screen if he played Prince Eric.

He already has experience working with Disney, and he also has Prince Eric's gorgeous baby blue eyes.

Bleu's voice is just as dreamy as his face. Even though Prince Eric doesn't have any singing roles in the original animated movie, we're sure Lin-Manuel Miranda could put something in just for him.

Joe is best known for his singing career with the Jonas Brothers and DNCE, but he's dipped his toes into acting before. Not to mention, he has a striking resemblance to the charming Disney prince.

McCarthy may be super sweet, but we could totally see her rocking the role of the evil Ursula. Casting directors clearly agree, because McCarthy is currently one of the front-runners for the role.

Wilson already crushed it as Ursula during the Hollywood Bowl performance. No doubt she would do it again on the big screen.

Brown already knows a thing or two about playing Ursula. She voiced the sea witch on season three of Once Upon a Time.

Can you only imagine? Just like Ursula, Jones has proven time and time again that she has one wicked sense of humor.

It seems like Fierstein already has Menken's vote for the role. During an interview with the UK's Gay Times he admitted that he'd "kill" to have the Tony-winner play Ursula. It certainly wouldn't be his first time playing the opposite sex. He is well-known for playing Edna Turnblad in Hairspray on Broadway and NBC's recent live production.

Seriously, who wouldn't want to see Elba go shirtless for this role?

Johnson could certainly pull off the stern but lovable father in the film.

I mean, he's already playing Aquaman. He could easily transition from one role to the next.

He gave an amazing performance at the Hollywood Bowl, and he actually played King Triton on Broadway!

Burgess has already proven that he is the perfect Sebastian. Not only did he blow it out of the water with his performance at the Hollywood Bowl, but he actually originated the character on Broadway.

If his time on Whose Line Is It Anyway? taught us anything, it's that Brady knows a thing or two about comedy. We could totally see him working with some funny voices for the part.

He's already writing the music for the film, so why not take it one step further by starring it in?

We really just want to see more of Tremblay's adorable face on our screen. How cute would he be as Ariel's fish friend?

Brown constantly steals the scene on Black-ish. We have full faith that he would do the same on the big screen.

The world fell in love with him on Stranger Things, and we would love him even more if he were to star as Flounder.

Aside from his general quirkiness, Cumming is certainly no stranger to the theater community. This role would be a breeze for the actor.

No doubt, Nanjiani would totally steal the spotlight with this role. He could probably write in a few of his own funny lines for the part.

If his role in Doctor Who taught us anything, it's that Tennant would be adorably cooky as this character.

We only imagine that his take on the role would be something like a PG-rated version of his Saturday Night Live character Drunk Uncle.

Murray would do a great job imitating Scuttle's crazy voices and zany personality.

Rock would definitely bring some amazing energy to this wacky seagull. Plus, he's a seasoned voice actor, so if Scuttle ends up being CGI, he's a great fit.

Armisen is a jack of all trades when it comes to comedy; he could probably fly with anything the producers throw his way.

Stamos was definitely a standout star when he took on the role at the Hollywood Bowl. We would love to see him play the character in a feature film.

The legendary comedian would totally nail the chef's hot-tempered nature. He also has a stage background, so he could easily hit all the notes in "Les Poissons."

Who else would get major flashbacks of Thompson's All That character Pierre Escargot if he were to get the role?

Cohen is already a master at accents — he could easily pull off playing a French cook.
