After the casting of Halle Bailey in the role of the mermaid Ariel in the Disney live-action, speculations and comments began, positive and negative, on the choice of Disney. Thanks to BossLogic we can now see what the young actress and singer could be like in the iconic siren, through a fan art published on the web.

BossLogic has created an illustration that imagines Halle Bailey as Ariel, with red hair as in the famous Disney-animated version.

Obviously we still don’t know if Ariel in this new movie will really have red hair but certainly, the BossLogic fan art is interesting and very likely.

The rest of the casting continues in the meantime, with the possible entries of Idris Elba and Joe Manganiello. Halle Bailey

herself, enthusiastic about being chosen for the iconic character, shared an image that portrays her hypothetical animated version in the role of Ariel.

The decision to entrust the part to Halle Bailey as the new mermaid for the live-action has created various controversies concerning above all the choice of an African-American actress for a character that in the popular imagination is remembered and loved with a completely different appearance. Furthermore, the similarity of the name of Halle Bailey with that of the star Halle Berry has created several misunderstandings, so much so that Halle Berry congratulated her colleague for being selected.

The cast also includes Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina in the roles of Flounders and Scuttle, as well as, most likely, Melissa McCarthy in that of Ursula.
