Although Disney's reimagining of the 1989 animated classic is still a few months away, here's what we know so far.
It was revealed more than three years ago that Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy would take on the role of the iconic Disney sea witch.
Oh, and Halle Bailey would take on the leading role as Ariel.
When the trailer for the highly-anticipated remake of the 1989 classic was first released, the reaction to Halle Bailey's casting as Ariel was intense.

It wasn't long before social media was flooded with devastatingly cute videos of little girls around the world squealing and jumping for joy after recognising a Disney princess who looked like them.
But amid the excitement was an exhausting wave of racist backlash, calling for boycotts and re-castings.
On the heart-melting response that children had to the film, Marshall admitted he 'wasn't anticipating' it.
He told EW: "In a way, I felt like we've moved so far past that kind of thing, but then you realise, in a way we haven't.
"It was very moving to me to see how important this kind of casting is for the world."
And on the other side of the stick, the director made it clear to all of the skeptics that there was absolutely 'no agenda' when it came to casting Ariel.
"We just were looking for the best actor for the role, period. The end," he asserted. "We saw everybody and every ethnicity."
