IFHH.
I can get on board. Prince Eric is the most attractive Disney prince, so it's tough shoes to fill, but he seems like he'll be fine. Can he sing? I assume they'll give him a song or something.
He'll be in the upcoming Little Women, so we'll get a chance to see him act.

So is he going to use his native British accent or fake an American one?

Disney always has to pair their black princess with a white boy.

How compelling is Prince Eric, really? He kind of just has to be a dashing young, adventurous man. The blue eyes and black hair separates him from the rest of the princes though. I love that pairing... so beautiful.

R7 how many Black Princesses have their been? Tiana was the first and her man was not white.

R13 He wasn't white but he wasn't black either. He was voiced by a Brazilian actor so was likely of a similar ethnicity.

They intentionally made the Prince ambiguous.
He isn’t white. Nor black.
He could be mixed.
Who cares???

R14 The voice actor was Bruno Campos who he was physically made to resemble with the exception of skin color.
Race in voice over (up until recently) meant nothing. While characters were made to have similar features as the voice over actor (Like Bruno Campos' eyebrows) skin color isn't one of them.
Cleveland Brown from Family Guy and the Cleveland Show has been voiced by a white actor forever. Sandra Bullock, Michelle Pfeiffer and many other actors have played characters with different skin colors than them.
However, yes. In this case he was "racially ambiguous" and was stated to be whatever people from his fictional homeland were.
Once Upon A Time help settle this by casting Prince Naveen as black.

I thought the first guy they had for the role of Prince Eric, Cameron Cuffe, was hotter.

A black Danish prince in the 1700's/1800's would make as much sense as a working class interracial couple living in a large house in the middle of a mostly white neighborhood in the 50's. Minus the merpeople and the talking dogs.

You just described my grandparents who of course lived in the north in the 50s. :)
In any case I agree with R18 that Cameron Cuffe is way cuter even if he can barely act.

R25 According to wiki his mother's a London theatre producer and his father's a 'prominent restauranteur'. Sounds privileged for sure but not sure what Hollywood/Disney connections that would give him

I have no investment in these Disney remakes but he looks the part to me.

By casting a white man and black woman, this movie is going to have to walk around eggshells to please it’s audience.
A black mermaid abandoning her life and family to be with a white man is gonna be problematic. They should’ve cast a Latino or Asian male instead.

In that first pic in OP's article, he looks like an older version of that heavily filtered porn twink Rourke.

He's quite handsome and the dimples fit Prince Eric. However Eric always seemed to me a bit more... dashing I guess, an adventurous seaman. Jonah Hauer-King looks more like the introspective sensitive kind. Not exactly a lot of raw sexuality. But then, it's also a remake of a Disney movie, they probably just want someone, who's nice looking and unthreatening to the target demographic of kids and teenage girls.
