Disney , I have a proposal for you .
By now, I imagine many of you will have seenThe Little Mermaid– the live action re-imagining of the 1989Disneyclassic starringHalle Bailey,Jonah Hauer-King,Javier Bardem, andMelissa McCarthy.
Y’know what else people are raving about? OneMelissa McCarthyas the movie’s iconic villain, Ursula.

Fans have lauded Melissa’s characterisation of the much-loved Disney villain, as well as her singing in the song “Poor Unfortunate Souls”.
Melissa McCarthy run through y’ all . Every scene , every job , the Sung , the dramatic event , the facial verbal expression . Could n’t detest her even if I tried I revere !

youtube.comSo far, there has been zero talk about a prequel spin-off, but it’s clear from this interview with Screen Rant Plus that Melissa and Javier – in particular – would be down. Not only that, but the depth of character that Melissa imbued Ursula with (think of when she talks about “suffering” when she’s finally faced with King Triton) is dying to be explored in a movie all about her life!

The actor has spoken aboutadvocating fiercely for herselfwhen it came to the role being cast – a role which seems have to have inspired her for most of her life!
Despite her love for the character, Melissa has also spoken about being “nervous” to play Ursula. But now she and co-star Javier Bardem are keen to reprise their roles in a spin-off movie!
I know a non-committal remark when I see one, but let’s be honest, aMaleficent-style prequel for Ursula would be ICONIC.
So far , there has been zero talk about a prequel spin - off , but it ’s clean-cut from this audience with Screen Rant Plus that Melissa and Javier – in particular – would be down . Not only that , but the profoundness of character that Melissa imbued Ursula with ( think of when she talks about " bear " when she ’s lastly faced with King Triton ) is dying to be explore in a moving picture all about her liveliness !
We’ve seen prequels about Maleficent and Cruella, but I strongly believe THIS is the only one we actually need. Do you agree?
