Corey Mylchreest’s ‘Disastrous’ Audition Underscores Pause in Disney’s Live-Action Tangled

Disney has not confirmed any cast or director during its reevaluation of the project following Snow White’s underperformance.

Overview

  • Corey Mylchreest told Seventeen magazine that he deleted and burned his Flynn Rider audition tapes after Disney said they wanted someone with singing experience.
  • The live-action Tangled remake entered an indefinite hold earlier this year, and no actors have been selected.
  • Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is still attached to write the adaptation and Michael Gracey had been in talks to direct before pre-production was paused.
  • Industry outlets say Disney shelved the project as part of a broader reevaluation of its live-action remakes following Snow White’s commercial shortfall.
  • Original voice actor Zachary Levi has expressed his desire to reprise Flynn Rider but doubts he would be the right fit when production resumes.
