5 Black Cosplayers Who Are Totally Nailing Their Disney And Marvel Characters

by Elana

When Disney announced that Halle Bailey was set to play Ariel in the live action remake of The Little Mermaid, the Internet went absolutely bonkers. While all the good noodles were celebrating the casting call with phenomenal art and words of praise, others were screeching incoherently about absolute nonsense (at best.)

This showed us how important it is to take a moment to highlight the incredible diversity out there in the magical world of Disney, and what better way to show how absolutely awesome Disney characters are when they're cosplayed by BIPOC?

The cosplayers we wanted to feature today are absolutely phenomenal, but they aren't getting the attention they fully deserve! So we're taking time to showcase 5 Black Cosplayers you'll find yourself obsessed with by the time you're done browsing today.
