Come Eric del remake de La Sirenetta sarà diverso dalla versione animata.

Jonah Hauer-King, star of The Little Mermaid, has revealed that his character, Prince Eric, in the live-action remake, will have a different storyline to its animated counterpart. In the original film, Eric is a human prince who Ariel falls in love with after saving his life. However, in the remake, Eric also desires an adventurous lifestyle, having his own musical number “Wild Uncharted Waters” that showcases his wish to explore the unknown parts of the ocean. Hauer-King’s revelation about Eric’s sense of adventure shows that his story will be parallel to Ariel’s, and not just that of a love interest. The new take on his character builds him into a three-dimensional counterpart and supports a stronger love story between the two.
