However, as everyone knows, the role went to Halle Bailey. She also expressed interest in playing the character in the Hollywood Bowl performance commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Disney classic in 2019, but the choice was Lea Michele.

With her dream role Ariel eluding her, Lohan wants to be a superhero, and it seems like she’s been trying for a while, too.
