Harry Styles in talks to play Prince Eric in ‘The Little Mermaid’

Former One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles lost out on a role to play Elvis in a Baz Luhrmann biopic on the King — but Styles looks to have landed a part in “Chicago” director Rob Marshall’s live-action version of “The Little Mermaid” instead.

Styles has been in talks to join the Disney film as Prince Eric, Deadline reported, and will now join the cast because he lost out on the Elvis movie to ex-Disney child star Austin Butler.

“The Little Mermaid” stars Halle Bailey in the lead role.
