Disney has officially cast Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider in its upcoming live-action Tangled film, with Kathryn Hahn reportedly in talks to play Mother Gothel.
Disney is pushing forward with its slate of live-action adaptations, officially locking in the lead roles for its upcoming take on Tangled. According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, actors Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim will star as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider respectively. These casting choices represent the first major talent secured for the project following months of early development and background adjustments.
The casting update arrives shortly after reports surfaced regarding the antagonist role of Mother Gothel. Industry insiders indicate that Kathryn Hahn is currently in talks to take on the iconic villain, stepping into the shoes of the character previously discussed for other high-profile talent. As Disney works to finalize its primary ensemble, production momentum is clearly picking up speed for the theatrical release.
For communities who grew up with the animated original or discovered the world through various spin-offs and digital tie-ins, the transition to a live-action format always sparks plenty of debate across social feeds and creator streams. Whether this adaptation can capture the specific visual charm and humor of the 2010 animated film remains to be seen, but the studio is assembling a recognizable young cast to lead the charge.
