The role of Ariel for the new Little Mermaid movie will be filled by Chloe Moretz. According to Moretz, the new Ariel will be based on the original Hans Christian Andersen, in which she has blonde hair, and not the Disney (DIS) version with red hair, reports Christian Post.

Moretz also said that this new version of the Little Mermaid will differ from the original. She said that the film will be “a modern, revisionist tale” and that they are  “making it progressive for young women in this day and age,” Christian Post notes.

Here’s how some Twitter (TWTR) users reacted to news of a blonde Ariel in the new Little Mermaid film.

  • “Ariel will be blonde in the new Live Action Little Mermaid. *scratches Little Mermaid off my must see list*”
  • “Incredibly offended that the live action little mermaid actress will have blonde hair. ARIEL HAS RED HAIR”
  • “Dear @Disney if the live action Little Mermaid is blonde instead of redheaded prepare to tank harder than Jem.”
  • “Unbelievable. In the Live version of the Little Mermaid, Ariel will be blonde. She’s been the hero of redheads since the dawn of time WHY”
  • “I feel personally victimized that the live action remake of the little mermaid is going to feature a BLONDE Ariel?!”
