According to Kursiv Media, set photos from the live-action Tangled adaptation have surfaced, confirming that Milo Manheim and Teagan Croft are both attached to the project and actively filming.
A Fairy Tale Gets Real — And Fan Casting Gets Serious
This is the confirmation Disney fans have been waiting for. With two leads now locked in, the live-action Tangled is no longer a rumor or a wishlist — it's a production. Manheim, best known for Zombies, brings a natural charm and musical chops that feel right at home in a Disney fairy tale, and Croft, who made her name as Raven in Titans, brings a quiet intensity that could add real depth to Rapunzel's journey from the tower.
But here's the thing: Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are just the beginning. The roles that will truly make or break this film are the ones still unannounced. Who plays the deliciously manipulative Mother Gothel? What about King Frederic and Queen Ariella? And let's not sleep on the Pub Thugs — Hook Hand alone is a casting opportunity that deserves its own conversation. The fancasting community has plenty of work to do.
What myCast Fans Have Been Saying
The myCast community has been dreaming up their ideal Tangled casts well before these set photos dropped, and the picks across our fan stories are genuinely fascinating. Over on the Tangled story with seven roles mapped out, fans have cast a wide net of bold choices. Robert Pattinson has been voted in as Flynn Rider — a pick that feels provocative at first glance but actually makes a lot of sense when you think about his roguish screen presence and surprising comedic range. Meanwhile, Anya Taylor-Joy has picked up a vote for Rapunzel, a choice that practically sells itself given her ethereal look and her ability to convey both vulnerability and steel.
The most intriguing pick in that same story, though, is Eva Green for Mother Gothel. Honestly? That's a casting idea that should be on Disney's radar immediately. Green has made a career out of playing magnetic, morally complex women who dominate every scene they're in — Gothel's brand of psychological manipulation would be right in her wheelhouse. Fans also tossed into the mix for Hook Hand Thug, and look, if you're going to cast a Pub Thug with a dream, you could do a lot worse.
