The newest rumor in The Little Mermaid involves Javier Bardem. He is in talks to play King Triton.

Poor Terry Crews, he was really counting on being cast.

This comes shortly after the news that Harry Styles is in early negotiations to play Prince Eric.

Terry Crews did have his heart set on the role.

But it seems as though it may not come to pass.

Javier Bardem will be taking the crown and wearing it proudly.

Javier Bardem is a magnificent actor.

He has done tons of movies and has always delivered fantastic performances.

So we're sure he'd make a great king.

Halle Bailey would be playing his daughter.

She got cast as Princess Ariel.

We can't wait to hear her magnificent voice in the movie.
