The
2010 animated hit followed Rapunzel, the magically long-haired
princess locked away in a tower, whose carefully ordered life is
upended when she teams up with Flynn Rider, a charming outlaw on
the run. The original film featured the voices of Mandy Moore
and Zachary Levi, grossed more than $590 million worldwide, and
spawned both the short film “Tangled Ever After” and the Disney
Channel series “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure.”
The new “Tangled” will be directed by Michael Gracey, best known
for “The Greatest Showman,” with a screenplay by Jennifer Kaytin
Robinson.
No release date has been announced.
Croft, an Australian actor, is best known for starring as Rachel
Roth, aka Raven, on the DC series “Titans,” and her role on
Netflix’s “True Spirit.”
Manheim is already a familiar face to Disney audiences after
leading the “Zombies” franchise. The actor and singer, who is
also the son of Emmy and Golden Globe winner Camryn Manheim,
finished as runner-up on season 27 of “Dancing with the Stars."
“Tangled" was first reported to be in early development in
December 2024. It's the latest animated Disney title to receive
the live-action treatment. The studio’s growing slate includes
“The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” “The Little
Mermaid, “Snow White" and “Lilo & Stitch,” the first $1 billion
release of 2025.
A live-action version of “Moana” is scheduled to hit theaters
this summer.
