The news comes as disney gears up for a busy slate of live-action remakes and spin-offs, with Tangled joining the likes of Peter Pan, Hercules, Bambi, and Moana in development. In related casting announcements, disney has tapped Titans actress Teagan Croft and Zombies actor Milo Manheim to star as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider respectively, a move that marks a departure from some of the more well-known options fans had previously suggested.

disney's attempt at a live-action Tangled remake was first reported in December of 2024, with the project experiencing a series of setbacks including a reported pause in development last year. However, the studio's success with films like Lilo & Stitch, which grossed over $1 billion at the global box office, has reignited interest in the project.
