Disney released the debut trailer for its live‑action take on The Little Mermaid this month, and it drew a surge of discussion on YouTube. The studio faced sharp reactions about the character’s look, and some viewers criticized the casting choices. Following the trailer release, the author of the original tale faced scrutiny and some online chatter about racism linked to past statements. In recent days, new videos surfaced showing Halle Bailey replaced by entirely different actors through neural network tricks, a practice often referred to as faceswapping.
The first video reimagines the Little Mermaid with actor Nicolas Cage stepping into the role.
A second clip casts Vin Diesel as Ariel, offering a playful, if surprising, take on the character.
The next clip turns Jackie Chan into the little mermaid, delivering a fast paced, action‑driven interpretation.
The fourth video imagines Keanu Reeves in the part of Ariel, provoking a mix of humor and commentary among viewers.
In contrast, there is a straightforward preview of how The Little Mermaid will appear in the upcoming film with Halle Bailey portraying Ariel.
The announcements around the film note that the story will premiere toward the end of the year, featuring Halle Bailey alongside Javier Bardem in the role of King Triton.
