Director Rob Marshall surprised fans in attendance at the D23 Expo 2022 as he shared more details about “THE LITTLE MERMAID” live-action film.
Marshall played the “Part of Your World” sequence for fans in Hall D23 and invited on stage Ariel herself, Halle Bailey, who shared her excitement about her new role. Watch the teaser trailer below to see why this beloved tale touches the hearts of fans around the world.

“The Little Mermaid” will feature fan-favorite songs plus four new songs penned by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda, the feature film also stars Melissa McCarthy as Ursula and Javier Bardem as Triton. “The Little Mermaid” is scheduled to premiere next summer on May 23, 2023.
