Ariana Grande fans shut down Katharine McPhee after the "American Idol" runner-up expressed interest in playing Meg in the live-action version of Disney's "Hercules."
McPhee tweeted a picture of herself next to a screengrab of Meg from the animated version of "Hercules," along with the caption, "Okay... hear me out" on Monday.
While a few fans were supportive of McPhee's idea, most of the comments left underneath the photos shut down the actress' claim to the role, instead calling for Grande to play Meg.
"We want Ariana Grande as Megara, try again," one user wrote, while another said, "Post a cover of i wont say im in love... and then we'll talk."
In April, the "7 Rings" singer wowed fans with an elaborate rendition of Meg's iconic song "I Won't Say I'm in Love" during a Disney sing-along, complete with a six-part harmony and choreography that was filmed entirely on an iPhone.

McPhee was seemingly referencing the recent news that Disney had greenlit a live-action version of the animated classic, even though casting details are still up in the air.
