Well this is the best news we’ve ever heard…

The Hashtag Show has reported this week that a source close to Walt Disney Studios revealed Zendaya has been offered the role of Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.

CAN YOU EVEN???

While Lindsay Lohan was gunning for the role, we’d absolutely love Queen Z to step into the iconic role.

The film is set to be directed by Mary Poppins Returns‘s Rob Marshall, with music by Hamilton‘s lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and Disney’s Alan Menken.

But who would star alongside Zendaya? Well, Elle has speculated that because they’re going for a woman of colour as the lead, her father King Triton, and her sisters would also be played by actors of colour. We’re all about that inclusivity!

Bring it on Disney.
