Announcing the news on Instagram.com on Friday, she wrote, “Here it is!! I’ve been waiting months to tell everyone how excited I am to take on this beautiful journey with Working Title, Universal, and a beautiful script by Richard Curtis… #TheLittleMermaid!!!! Here we go!!!.”
The 18-year-old actress will play a mystical sea siren who gives up her underwater life after she falls in love with a prince.
