Halle Bailey’s ‘Little Mermaid’ has found its Prince Eric. Eric is to be portrayed by Jonah Hauer-King who earned the role after impressing the movie’s big wigs in London on November 9th. His union with the movie comes after its directors enlisted Lin-Manuel Miranda to create original tunes for it. 
Tunes, that will sit alongside songs pulled from the 1989 animated original.

Grape juice thank u for deleting that unnecessary hateful comment
U guys should have put the picture of the guy playing prince Eric.
Why Are we looking at Halle bailey when the article is about prince Eric? Congrats to Jonah Hauer King but as He and halle are relatively unknown they should have cast someone more known.
They should have cast Camilla for the lead role
Shouldca…. Coulda… Woulda…..
They didn’t! Halle is the mermaid and y’all hating asses will DEAL! ?
But c***** will be on the movie she’ll be playing Jetsam inspired on her fresh looks 🙂
This is some P*** PHILE sh|t. I wont be taking my kids to see this movie! The black girl is only 19 and the white male lead is 39 years old! The producers were so busy trying to shove this interracial love narrative down people’s throats instead of just hiring a young handsome black guy to play the role. FLOP!
Jonah Hauer-King is 24 years old. Lin Manuel is 39, he’s just enlisted as the music producer/ composer.
Y’all could have at least added a photo of him. He is perfect for the part.
How about a picture of him? This site can be so unprofessional lol
You couldn’t post a pic of him smh!!
So we gotta Google what he looks like? This site is just…ugh
By not posting a photo of Jonah Hauer king you have driven traffic to other websites with better articles about his casting which also include his photo!!!!
Finally! A photo to match!
I’m sorry I’m not a racist or anything, but come on seriously theirs a better Ariel out their.
*there & no there is not ?
Omg my spelling is hella s***** when I’m typing fast ????
And there is a better looking Xtina out there that dont look like a whale with baloon face. Shut It!
As long as they don’t f’ck it up like they did with the lion king.
This movie is going to be so cute man lol. And her voice is hauntingly beautiful. Can you imagine? Hopefully it’s good!
Well on paper the cast to Beauty and the Beast “looked” perfect but the acting and movie was crap and there was no chemistry between the leads. I mean I said the same thing about Wonder Woman and Gal Gadot and that movie was amazing. So on paper the cast to this movie seems so mismatched so here’s to hoping to be proven wrong and to an amazing film!
And to @ Jasmine’s Grape Juice he’s 24.
Halle Bailey is going to be a trash Little Mermaid…
