However, the Grammy Award winner declined the position.The director of The Little Mermaid, Rob Marshall, told Entertainment Weekly that he “met with” Styles and “he was lovely”.“What a wonderful guy,” said Marshall.
“But at the end of the day, he really felt like he wanted to go off and do the movies that he ended up doing, which were sort of darker.”Styles’ recent roles include the queer romance film My Police Man, and the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling last year.“For a lot of young musical people like Harry, you’re trying to carve your way and you don’t want to be seen as a singer, necessarily,” Marshall added.“That’s why he was really looking to do something not in the musical genre, to really stretch himself.
