Written by Site Hub on January 6, 2021
Noma Dumenzweni has been cast for the remake of the live action production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid – and she will be playing a brand new character.
The remake will also star Halle Berry as Ariel and Javier Bardem as King Triton. Melissa McCarthy will be playing the evil aunt Ursula and Jonah Hauer King will be Prince Eric.
According to Deadline:
“Dumezweni was one of the major standouts in HBO’s limited series The Undoing opposite Grant and Nicole Kidman. The role could see her in the mix for awards consideration in this upcoming season. On top of that she earned high marks for her role as Paul Mescal’s therapist in Hulu’s adaptation of Normal People. In 2021, she has her HBO series Made For Love. She also has ties to Disney having worked with the studio on Mary Poppins Returns.”
