Disney has shared the official casting of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider in the upcoming live-action version of Tangled.
Live-Action Rapunzel and Flynn Rider Cast
Disney announced the news on their X account:
Teagan Croft and Milo Manheim are Rapunzel and Flynn Rider in the live-action reimagining of Disney’s Tangled. Coming only to theaters.
Australian actress Teagan Croft is most recognizable for playing Rachel Azarath/Rachel Roth/Raven in Titans, the live-action adaptation of DC’s Teen Titans.
Disney Channel fans will instantly recognize Manheim, who played the lead role of Zed in the four Zombies films, with the latest being released just last year. He also recently appeared in the critically-acclaimed Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar as Peter and in an Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors in the starring role of Seymour.
Live-Action ‘Tangled’
The live-action version of Tangled has had a fittingly, well, tangled journey to production. We first reported on development of a live-action Tangled remake in 2020, ten years after the original film’s release, and it was announced in December 2024 as being in development with The Greatest Showman film director Michael Gracey.
The project was then placed on “indefinite hold” in April 2025 following the disappointing performance of the live-action Snow White film, but resumed production in October 2025 after the blockbuster live-action Lilo & Stitch. Gracey is still attached to direct and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is still writing the script.
