The Little Mermaid: 8 PERFECT Choices To Complete The Cast

7. Jacob Tremblay As Flounder

King Tritan Terry Crews
Fox

There’s been several rumours about who is in talks to play the various roles, but as mentioned in the introduction, only the concrete stuff counts. With that in mind, Tremblay is the only actor allegedly already in the process of being cast by Disney to make the hypothetical cast list here.

There aren’t a wealth of child stars out there, as given the nature of being a child star they tend to grow up quite quickly and either drop out of the business or move on to more adult roles. Tremblay though is right in the sweet spot now, and the rumours of Disney’s interest may well prove accurate.

They might instead opt for a new name, but given that Tremblay is only 12 yet already has some notable roles under his belt, they’re surely giving him some serious consideration.

Flounder’s infectiously happy and curious dialogue needs a real child actor rather than just a voice over star, and Tremblay can definitely provide that. After impressing in Wonder, The Predator and Room, he could certainly succeed again if Disney do, as has been rumoured, offer him the part.
