This all began during lockdown when Ariana performed Megara's 'I Won't Say I'm In Love' as part of ABC's Disney Family Singalong over in the US and people were blown away with both how great she sounded and how much she looked like the real life version of the character.

Fans started pushing for their favourite singer to be cast in the role upon hearing Diney does have a live-action remake of the classic in the works, much like they have done with the likes of Aladdin and Lion King, which both had seriously star-studded casts.

This isn't the first time a singer has been pushed by fans for the role in a Disney remake, with Harry Styles fans making a seriously good case for the 'Adore You' singer to play Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid.

Much to their delight, it emerged Haz was actually in talks with the studio for a while about making this dream a reality, but schedules clashed with his second tour (which was postponed due to Coronavirus) and it never came to be.

There's definitely still hope for Ari to join Hercules though, let's hope Disney put a good case forward, because we would LIKE to see it!
