Tangled Joins Disney's Live-Action Lineup After Moana

Disney has officially announced plans to create a live-action adaptation of the beloved animated film Tangled. This decision comes in light of the company's successful remakes and sequels, such as Moana. Michael Gracey, known for his work on The Greatest Showman, is in negotiations to direct the new film, with a script penned by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The project is still in its early stages, prompting speculation on potential casting choices for the lead roles, including Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, originally voiced by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi. The film is expected to maintain the essence of the animated classic while expanding the franchise that helped reinvigorate Disney Animation.

The release date for the Tangled live-action adaptation has not been confirmed, as it is currently in the early development stages.

Tangled, released in 2010, was a critical and commercial success, grossing nearly $600 million worldwide. The film was pivotal in relaunching interest in Disney’s animation division, paving the way for the massive hit Frozen in 2013. It features iconic characters such as Rapunzel, a spirited princess with magical hair, and Flynn Rider, a charming rogue, embodying themes of adventure, romance, and self-discovery that resonate with audiences of all ages. Fans are eager to see how this new adaptation will bring the enchanting world of Tangled back to life.
