'The Little Mermaid' Remake Adds Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay
Disney's live-action remakes keep coming, and now Jacob Tremblay to the cast, Variety reports. The actors will star as two of Ariel's friends, with Awkafina voicing Flounder and Tremblay voicing Scuttle.
So far, the lead role of Ariel hasn't been cast, but the villain Ursula may be played by being eyed for the role. Regardless, we'd say the cast is coming together nicely.
The film is a remake of the 1989 animated classic with Lin-Manuel Miranda working on the new ones.
Awkafina and Jacob Tremblay have both starred in high-profile films recently and have still others on the way. She had a big year last year with roles in "Ocean's 8" and "Crazy Rich Asians." Meanwhile, some of his films include "Wonder," "The Book of Henry," and "Room." Coming up for Awkwafina are "The Farewell" and "Jumanji: The Next Level," and Tremblay stars in the soon-to-be-released "Good Boys."
"The Little Mermaid" live-action adaptation is being produced by Marshall, Miranda, Marc Platt, and John DeLuca.
