No, you’re not dreaming. This is real. This is happening. Terry Crews himself, the actor, the legend, the Brooklyn-Nine-Nine (Amy Santiago is quaking in her boots rn) HEARTTHROB basically volunteered to be the next King Triton in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid via Twitter and I simply will not sit down.Â

Hot off the heels of live-action Disney remakes Aladdin, The Jungle Book and the soon-to-be-released Lion King (preorder tickets NOW), comes… you guessed it… The Little Mermaid. As if the cast wasn’t already #goals enough (peep the gorge Halle Bailey as the new Ariel), now we’re gonna throw Terry Crews into the mix? Excuse me, I think I’m currently hyperventilating.Â
Apparently, I’m not the only one legit obsessed with Disney-Dad and literal lord of everything Terry Crews, because Twitter is losing its mind rn.Â
