The movie theatre spectacular is set to hit screens in the UK and US on 26th May 2023 and while fans have already started wondering who plays Ursula in the new Little Mermaid? they have been treated to a glimpse of the leading couple in action.
Jonah Hauer-King's Prince Eric and Halle Bailey's Ariel have been pictured together as a series of movie stills are released ahead of the movie coming out.
Plus new character, Queen Selina, played by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child star Noma Dumezweni, makes her debut ad Prince Erics mom.
Speaking of the lovebirds, Noma Dumezweni, said, "It's this sense of the babies being two outsiders of their origin story and then finding each other... There's that sense of, 'We recognize each other when we know what each other's been through."
The series of images show the couple in various scenes from a raging storm to, laying washed up on the beach to Ariel having lost her mermaid tail from a time when she has made her transition from sea to land.
The stills give fans an added insight into their relationship following on from the official trailer in which fans got to see the couple's chemistry with Bailey humming the iconic ‘Part of Your World.'
