Earlier in 2025, Disney reported that it was halting progress on its live-action Tangled film. This decision likely came from the critical and commercial failure of Snow White. It wasn’t clear if the film would ever move forward again or end up getting the axe for good. But now Disney is ready to move forward with the live-action Tangled movie and there are talks of Scarlett Johansson taking on a role as Mother Gothel.
While we still aren’t 100% sure about her involvement, we do know who will take on the two leading roles. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim will star in the Tangled live-action movie as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, respectively. Croft previously played Raven in the DC series Titans while Manheim is known for his role in the Zombies movie franchise.
For those who aren’t familiar, the animated Tangled film came out in 2010 and reimagined the classic story of Rapunzel. In this version, Mandy Moore voiced the main character. It was a big box office success for Disney and, with the recent love for Lilo & Stitch, it seems the company wants to bet on Tangled now.
It is not clear who else will star in this film nor when things will fully get back rolling again. We will have to wait and see what happens in the near future.
