I don’t really care who is chosen to play a fictional character. Ariel wasn’t real, in case you didn’t know.
Next thing you know, they will have Santa Claus as a black man.

Bitchy over casting?
Link?
So you aren't gay then?
Maybe I confused you with another.

I thought the love interest in Spider-Man was supposed to play her.
Regardless, Rebel Wilson is a worse choice to play Ursula. Ariel is without question the worst of the Disney princesses (save for her voice). But Ursula is very iconic, and Rebel Wilson won’t be able to pull her off.
This will be controversial, but personally I think they should have given Nathan Lane the role. Ursula was based off of drag queens, and we know Lane can do that. I think he would have killed as Ursula. But this would never happen, because these days they’d accuse Disney of being transphobic. As for reference, here is the drag queen Ursula was mostly based off.

They should cast a skinny person to play this role.

She licks ice cream I’m sure of it.

Too much risk in being creative nowadays. Movie studios want a guaranteed hit, just like music studios. That's why everything sounds the same now too.

Bad at confusing one anonymous poster for another. Guilty.

How is she going to play ariel if she cant swim?
Posted on 7/3/19 at 8:08 pm to Cosmo
Why can't we get any Hispanic/Asian representation? Why does it always have to be black actors?

Rebel looks far more likeDivine than Lane would ever.

Debbie Ryan was made for that role. She was robbed.

She should play Ursula and hire a fair completed beauty to play Ariel as intended

Assuming she's a good actress, I have ZERO problem with that casting.
None at all.

As long as she can sing, I'm good.

Have you seen the Birdcage? And even if you’re right, she is not at all like Ursula. Nathan Lane would kill that role.

Kathy Bates is my pick for Ursula

This is going to be everything coming out of Disney from now on. And they own everything now.

I really don’t get what the discussion is here.
It’s a fictional character. Who cares who plays the part as long as it’s not a dude
