Chloe x Halle member Halle Bailey is ready to become part of Disney’s world.

The R&B singer has been tapped to play Ariel in Disney’s next live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid.” Although director Rob Marshall has spent the last couple of months meeting with talent, insiders say Bailey has been a clear front runner from the beginning.

“After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance — plus a glorious singing voice — all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role,” Marshall said in a statement.

Bailey is joining a cast that includes Jacob Tremblay and Awkwafina, while Melissa McCarthy is in talks to play Ursula.

Hollywood hates Gingers, first Annie, then MJ, and now Ariel. I will not stand for this blatant racism against the redheads

Amber Heard was fricking sexy as frick as a redhead in Aquaman. They seriously couldn't make the easy decision and pick her? Mother fricker this is a disaster of a choice for Ariel. Nice choice guys!

Rebel Wilson should be Ursula. I knew they'd pick a non-white Ariel. I guess it's ok, as long as she can sing.

They probably weren't looking for a redhead in the first place.
