We spoke with under-the-sea siblings melissamccarthy and Javier Bardem on landing their iconic roles in TheLittleMermaid, singing 'Poor Unfortunate Souls,' and their favorite parts of the movie.
One of the most exciting elements of Rob Marshall’s live-action remake of Disney classic The Little Mermaid is the ensemble cast playing these unforgettable characters. Alongside the talented Halle Bailey as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy plays the wicked sea witch Ursula, with Javier Bardem as her rival and ruler of Atlantica, King Triton. While promoting the movie, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke to the duo about how they stepped into these roles, who almost played the lead role of Ariel, and more.
COLLIDER: I have a million questions for you, but first, let me start by saying congratulations, you're both so good in this. I know it's gonna make at least $15 at the box office.Right, exactly. So this is a movie that I would imagine a lot of people wanted to be a part of, so, ultimately, what did the both of you pay to be in it?
MCCARTHY: That's a long list, did you sit through the whole end of it? How about the end of that movie, when that scroll goes and you see all those people, and all that amazing talent to make it. To bridge from what we did to what you see takes so much work, and they just made everything better. There are moments– I did so much of it, but I'm like, “Well, I can only spin so far,” because I'm not really an octopus, and I can spin and I'm not there, but they have to get me to here.
