Navarro took to Twitter to share with his fans just how much he would like to make history and star as Disney’s first Latino prince. 

“So I heard Harry Styles passed on Prince Eric, well…I can sing. Black Ariel/Latino Prince…no ones called but Season 3 [of 13 Reasons Why] drops next week and I think it’s one hell of an audition.” 

“Just a brief reminder that there’s always another mountain, another goal to strive after, and with your help I’ll keep pushing the limits,” he added on Instagram. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if we had a truly multicultural Little Mermaid?! Fingers crossed beautiful people.”

And his call for a social media campaign actually worked! On Tuesday Navarro updated that Disney saw his tweet and contacted him! “They wanted to see what I could do,” Navarro wrote, “Tapes sent. Fingers crossed. Let’s make some history.”

Should he join, he will star opposite Halle Bailey’s Ariel.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the former One Direction performer and Dunkirk star is no longer in talks to play Prince Eric in the Rob Marshall-directed musical. Variety adds that sources say “the initial reports about his casting were premature” and that Styles rejected the role amicably. 

Previous confirmed casting includes Halle Bailey as Ariel, the mermaid princess who dreams of being a human, and Melissa McCarthy as the villainous Ursula.

The film written by David Magee will feature the original songs from the 1989 animated classic, as well as new songs from original composer Alan Menken with lyrics by Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The 50-year-old actor is campaigning for his next film role in the most hilarious way. 

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star took to social media sharing an image of himself photoshopped onto King Triton’s fish tail while also holding a trident and floating in front of the kingdom of Atlantica. Crews captioned the image with “Ariel’s Dad!!!!” as well as two hashtags to help promote his casting in the film — #ArielsGotTerry and #AmericasGotTerry.

Following the announcement that Halle Bailey was recently cast as Ariel rumblings about who would play her on-screen dad began. While many fans have been pushing for Idris Elba to get the part, with the amount of like Crews’ image garnered on Instagram and Twitter (over half a million on total!) looks like fans are taking to the idea.

Should Crews play Ariel’s dad in Disney’s forthcoming live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid, he could join Awkwafina, Jason Tremblay and Melissa McCarthy, who are all in talks to join the film’s cast as Scuttle, Flounder, and Ursula, respectively.

Multiple outlets report that the 48-year-old actress could be going under the sea for the Rob Marshall-directed live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid. Marshall also helmed Mary Poppins Returns. 

According to Variety, which was first to report the news, the deal is not yet completed, but McCarthy’s Ursula could be just what the film’s creative team is looking for in its contemporary reimagining of the iconic story. 

Marshall is directing from a script by David Magee. The film will feature new songs (alongside the originals, of course) by Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Miranda is also producing along with Marshall, Marc Platt and John DeLuca.

Disney’s latest live-action remake was Aladdin, which grossed $820 million worldwide. The live-action remake of the highly-anticipated The Lion King is set to debut in theaters on July 19th.
