Rumors have been circulating since last month that "The Greatest Showman" star Zendaya is going to play Ariel in Disney's upcoming live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid."

The actress, who got her start on the Disney Channel, told People she'd be thrilled to be Ariel: "I loved 'The Little Mermaid.' It is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time. I was obsessed with it when I was a little kid."

However, that's far from a confirmation. She added, "It's just a rumor, so we will see."

The reports of Zendaya possibly playing everyone's favorite mermaid was, sadly, met with racist comments, as was her being cast as MJ in "Spider-Man: Homecoming."

Other names floated as a potential Ariel include Ariana Grande and "Riverdale" star Madelaine Petsch, who already has the requisite long red hair.
