Director Michael Gracey, known for popular films such as The Greatest Showman and Better Man, is currently slated to direct Disney’s live action adaptation of Tangled. Tangled is a well-known Disney animated film, starring Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, for its retelling of Rapunzel. Recently, Black Widow and Midsommar’s star Florence Pugh was on board to play Rapunzel. Other stars like Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez, and Agatha Hahn were rumored to play Mother Gothel, who was previously voiced by Donna Murphy in the original animated picture.
Renowned pop star Taylor Swift has been rumored to take Pugh’s place as Rapunzel in the upcoming film. This rumor is traced back to the X account @MyTimeToShineHello from news scoops. At first glance, this X post appears to be media gossip. For those who accused this account of baiting people, the user replied that the same source concerning Taylor Swift also reported the accurate Uma Thurman casting in Dexter: Resurrection as well as the casting of Matthias Schoenaerts in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. This means that although nothing is confirmed yet, Disney appears to have its radar upon Swift to seriously consider her for the Tangled character.
Swift was originally considered by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, owned by Disney, to play Ladypool in Deadpool & Wolverine before being replaced by Blake Lively.
As Rapunzel is widely considered one of Disney’s most beloved princesses, Tangled was a box office hit, grossing just shy of $600 million. The live action film currently has no known release date, although actor Ron Perlman, who voiced the Stabbington Brothers in the original movie, is open to returning in the live action remake.
