After Ariana Grande’s Broadway-style mini musical with James Corden, fans are convinced
it’s another major clue that she’ll be playing Meg in the upcoming Hercules live-action
film — Let’s get into it
On Tuesday Ariana and James pulled out all the stops to celebrate the end of COVID-19
restrictions in California with a parody of the Broadway musical Hairspray that even featured
its leading star Marissa Jaret Winokur.
Ari sang about being able to get a proper haircut, hitting the gym and greeting friends
with a kiss again, and fans just couldn’t get enough of her vocals.
Comments highlighting how Ari would be perfect to bring a Disney princess to life flooded
the video’s comment section on YouTube, with some fans even talking about actually
starting a petition!
Good idea!
Well, it just so happens that other fans interpreted Ari’s latest performance as another clear
sign in the growing list of clues that she’ll be starring in Disney’s live-action Hercules
film as Megara.
This fan pretty much summed up that sentiment tweeting:
“I’m telling y’all Ariana is gonna be cast as Megara or Elphaba real damn soon,
Ariana doesn’t just bring out her broadway roots for nothing."
Moving on to other recent clues…
On Monday Ari announced that her new perfume named God is a Woman will soon be hitting
Ultas everywhere and fans definitely picked up on her scent...
Eagle-eyed followers noticed that in both promo ads, her new perfume bottle is either
resting atop a Greek column or on its side and a purple glow is very much present.
This Ari fan chimed in on Twitter saying:
“OMG YES THE COLUMN IN THE BACK IS GIVING GREEK MYTHOLOGY SO MEGARA IS COMING”
And speaking of the color purple, which as you guys know is Megara’s signature color,
we recently saw Ari perform at the iHeartRadio Music Awards with The Weeknd in a stunning
purple silk gown and she even wore her hair in a very similar fashion to Meg’s…
Which is also very similar to Ari’s regular hairstyle, but you know what we’re saying...
During her performance fans also noticed that some of Ari’s tattoos, like her butterflies
and Pokemon character Eevee, had mysteriously disappeared from her arms and came to the
conclusion that she had them covered up, as she was already filming Hercules.
But we have to keep in mind that prior to that event, Ari had just shared her beautiful
wedding photos where she also had her largest ink designs concealed -- so it could just
be that nowadays Ari displays her body art depending on her mood or on the occasion.
Either way, the most promising clue that Ari could be playing Megara in the upcoming live-action
Hercules film is without a doubt her rendition of ‘I Won’t Say I’m In Love’ during
quarantine last year for The Disney Family Singalong.
I mean we actually got to see Ari get into Megara’s skin to belt out the character’s
most iconic song and her resemblance was uncanny!
Well if Ari decides to be a part of this new project, we may be seeing a lot of her on
the big screen as the film’s producers, the Russo brothers — yup the brothers & directors
of Avengers: Endgame — recently teased the idea of creating a Hercules cinematic universe
that could potentially turn into a multi-movie franchise.
And as for the male lead there are plenty of options.
Fans would love to see Ari star opposite Jacob Elordi, Zac Efron, KJ Apa or Noah Centineo...
However nothing has been confirmed just yet so we’re all just gonna have to keep digging
for clues…until then...
