Terry Crews is ready to rule under the sea!
Crews tweeted out his interest in Disney’s live-action The Little Mermaid starring Halle Bailey in the title role. His comical tweet featured him photoshopped as a merman holding a trident in front of King Triton’s kingdom. He tweeted the phrase “Ariel’s Dad!!!! #ArielsGotTerry #AmericasGotTerry.”
Good thing I skip leg day because mermen don’t have legs! ???????????? https://t.co/AtueOYtic3

Artist BossLogic also created an image of Crews as King Triton, which Crews retweeted to his Twitter page.
LOVE THIS ❤️???????????? https://t.co/pWPPlSluSZ

But while Crews might be angling for the role, the internet is set on seeing Idris Elba don a fishtail as King Triton.

Clearly, Crews has some competition for the role! Sooner or later, we’ll find out who Disney will tap to play the King!
