Is Disney having buyer’s remorse? The studio would be forgiven if it were having some regrets after absorbing 20th Century Fox, the company that once generated big box office with the likes of “Avatar,” “Life of Pi,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” After “Dark Phoenix” bombed earlier this summer, Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista’s action comedy “Stuber” [...]Taika Waititi is returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The two will host the inaugural A Midsummer Party benefit on July 24 in the south of France at the Johnny Pigozzi’s private estate, Villa Dorane, in Cap d’Antibes. A cocktail reception will be followed by dinner, a live [...]As a comedian whose routines not only lampoon Italian stereotypes but demand larger-than-life performances of those cultural peccadilloes, Sebastian Maniscalco has carefully — if inadvertently — created a niche for himself as an actor.

Nooo. If Halle Bailey ends up being the only (on camera) person of colour in an otherwise all white cast, her casting becomes tokenism. Cast a person of colour for Prince Eric - Please!

🤮

Woah. Why cast a white dude? They’re the worst. Why not a black transgendered person like Laverne Cox to play Prince Eric?

Prince eric will be the white savior of the story and a black ariel will leave her family and her kingdom to be 'part of his white world' wow Disney how messed up....

Can he act? I haven't seen him in anything?

He good

Cant act

Controversial casting gets people talking, but idk if people actually want Harry Styles as Eric

We winning 🙌🙌

I really think it is insane. Can't understand why Disney doing this.😰😰

Disney casting is complete dogshit.

TheHSUpdate AAAAAA

That the guy from Dunkirk? He's a good actor, would do well.

At first glance, I thought this was a picture of Jonathan Byers. 😂

YES

Yes yes yes we want! 😍

I smell something

lovedsott Please tell me all this isn’t just a rumor

Yes yes he’s pure enough

OMG YES

I'm dying to see him in this role 😭😭

omg yes. an interracial couple. harry styles is the loml bitch yes

He's a Israel supporter... They can keep it. We deserve a better Eric

Ber_Girl Now that would be amazing! 😍

I don't know why some ppl fight against him, if you don't like Harry Styles, please leave him alone. He has tried his best in Dunkirk. I think he deserves more in that role as Prince Eric. No Hate.

He’s gonna be perfect as Prince Eric! Harry deserves this 😍❤️

Yes pleaseeeeeee

😍

giulialtrc dudamologni

Hmmmm it's a meh from me

Low key want this to happen so I can look at Harry_Styles on the big screen again

TJMartinez21 omg my heart jumped 😂😅

I dont like the idea but I love him so 🤷🏻‍♀️

The only reason that I could do watch the movie he is a good singer and I don’t know why some people stay pressed about it . Harry is going to be so good as a princes Eric

TheHSUpdate Harry would be incredible as Prince Eric.

The boy with an angel face and golden heart 💛

thank u god

Yes my prince 👑❤️

this boy cute...pls make it stop

O. M. G.

If you saw Dunkirk you know he’s a really good actor.

They really don't want me to watch this. Remember when make actors had a thing called muscles on them. What's next, Robert Patterson as Batman?

Why are people so against this? Because they think it's cool to hate Harry Styles? (Which it isn't). He can sing, he can definitely act and would be great in the role.

Not hot enough. Next.

omggg

devonhailey31 devonhailey31 Omg omg omg omg omg.

HARRY STYLES AS PRINCE ERIC !! YESS FOR EVERYONE

There’s only one solution to this.

Great! Disney respects Prince Eric but they didn't respect Ariel🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 what's wrong with you Disney ? If u wanted a interracial couple you should do a live action of pocahontas 🙄

Harry would be a perfect Prince Eric.

That's the best you guys can do? NO!
