Now that Ariel has been cast in the The Little Mermaid (to totally unfair controversy), our attention has turned to Eric:
The chiseled chin dreamboat many of us had a crush on growing up.
Since Disney hasn't released any official decision yet, Twitter has been running rampant with speculation.
So much so that they threw these 8+ celebs hats' in the ring.
We can totally get on board with these picks.
It's going to be a whole new world seeing our favorite characters come to life.
And we couldn't be more excited!
This includes Aladdin and the highly-anticipated movie, The Lion King, which hits theatres July 19.
Only Ariel has been confirmed so far.
Although, it's seeming very possible that Melissa McCarthy will play Ursula!
Jacob Tremblay from Room and Crazy Rich Asians star Awkwafina are also reportedly in talks.
If so, to voice Flounder and Scuttle.
Nineteen-year-old actress/singer, Halle Bailey (not Berry) will be stepping into the mermaid's tail.
It's a "dream come true," indeed, for the young star who has acted on the TV series Blackish.
She's also one half of the musical duo "Chloe x Halle" with her sister.
This included a lot of racist comments from people who are calling Halle #NotMyAriel.
To them, this is because she doesn't "match" the cartoon description of Ariel i.e white skin, red hair.
Go, Halle!
The world would be a better place if they all just listened to this beautiful video of Halle singing.
She is #MyAriel.
Fans have been speculating online over who it's going to be!
Here, we've rounded up the top nine picks!
Damn, I see it!
Plus, the boy can sing.
There's so much to digest with this tweet.
But let's just say a big giant YAAASS to all of the above
This Riverdale actor is totally Prince material.
How could we not see it?
Plus, he totally has that perfect hair down already.
America's Next Top Model Cycle 22 winner, Nyle DiMarco just tossed his hat in the ring.
And to answer his question, heck yes, we would totally accept him as Eric.
We totally ship this.
This Bold and the Beautiful star understands romance from his soap opera days.
After his unfortunate ending in Game of Thrones, this actor deserves redemption!
The support for Lee Donghae is insane.
He's rocking that white shirt like it's no one's business.
Let us know in the comments!
