Melissa McCarthy might play Ursula in "Little Mermaid' remake
Read full article: Melissa McCarthy might play Ursula in "Little Mermaid' remakeIt seems that Melissa McCarthy is one step closer to playing the iconic sea witch Ursula in Disney's live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid." Variety was told by sources that McCarthy is in the early stages of being cast as Ursula, one of the all-time great Disney villans. The original 1989 film is beloved by many generations, so it makes sense Disney would choose "The Little Mermaid" as its next live-action remake after doing "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin" and the highly anticipated "Lion King" still on the way, which will hit theaters July 19. We're sure that the two-time Oscar nominee will bring her comedic chops to the villianess role. There's no word on when "The Little Mermaid" will hit theaters, but we're guessing it will be a couple years.
