Disney Revives Tangled Live-Action Project

Disney is reigniting its plans for a live-action adaptation of “Tangled.” After a pause earlier this year, the studio is now considering Scarlett Johansson to step into the shoes of Mother Gothel. Although the complete cast isn’t set yet, Johansson’s involvement is generating much buzz in the entertainment world.

If everything falls into place, Michael Gracey, known for directing “The Greatest Showman,” will lead the project.

Tangled’s Production Timeline

Disney initially set the project aside in April after the disappointing performance of another live-action film. However, following the success of “Lilo & Stitch,” which grossed over $1 billion, the studio is keen to move forward.

Johansson’s recent film, “Eleanor the Great,” premiered to praise, marking her transition into directing with a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The prospect of her portraying Mother Gothel has fans eagerly awaiting updates.

The original “Tangled,” released in 2010, earned around $600 million globally. It tells the enchanting tale of Rapunzel, a princess with magical long hair, who dreams of escaping her secluded life.

Corey Mylchreest’s Aspirations

In a recent interview, Corey Mylchreest revealed he had auditioned for the role of Flynn Rider, despite the film’s previous hold-up. He humorously mentioned that the production needed someone capable of singing, hinting at his hope to land the role.
