"The Little Mermaid" stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric and Javier Bardem as King Triton. Jacob Tremblay will be voicing Ariel's sidekick Flounder while Daveed Diggs voices Sebastian and Awkwafina provides the voice for Scuttle.
The 2023 live-action movie will only be available in theaters starting May 26. That means if you want to watch it ASAP, you'll have to buy a movie ticket.
However, it will be available to stream on the Disney+ platform soon. Disney+ typically follows a 90-day period before its theatrical releases come to the streaming platform. That means we may see the live-action version of "The Little Mermaid" come to Disney+ as early as August 2023.
