Melissa McCarthy might play Ursula in "Little Mermaid' remake

Read full article: Melissa McCarthy might play Ursula in "Little Mermaid' remake

It seems that Melissa McCarthy is one step closer to playing the iconic sea witch Ursula in Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid." Variety was told by sources that McCarthy is in the early stages of being cast as Ursula, one of the all-time great Disney villans. The original 1989 film is beloved by many generations, so it makes sense Disney would choose "The Little Mermaid" as its next live-action remake after doing "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin" and the highly anticipated "Lion King" still on the way, which will hit theaters July 19. We're sure that the two-time Oscar nominee will bring her comedic chops to the villianess role. There's no word on when "The Little Mermaid" will hit theaters, but we're guessing it will be a couple years.

Early rumors have fans hinting at Zendaya, but the actress played coy when ET's Katie Krause caught up with her at the premiere of her gritty new HBO series, Euphoria. she said of the Little Mermaid hype.
