Zendaya is showing her support for Halle Bailey!
Rumors began swirling last year that Zendaya could be the one to portray the iconic mermaid in the Rob Marshall-directed film, which will feature original music by mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda. Speaking with ET back in October, the director teased that he was looking for someone "young" and"really special" to play Ariel.
"That's going to take time," he said."You just hope someone comes in and says, 'This is mine,' so there's no questions and owns the part." Fans started freaking out even more about the possibility of Zendaya as Ariel when she stepped out to a press event for "I'm sure it will be great when they make it," ZJudging by her recent tweets, it seems she'll be sticking to her word! And she, of course, wasn't the only one excited about the casting news on Wednesday.
